The design I am working has a fairly dense placement. To try minimize my 
time in artwork, I would like to add as many routing layers as possible to 
my layer stackup. I was thinking of using an 18 layer board of Nelco 
4000-13, with the following stackup:
Signal1
GND
Signal2
Signal3
PWR
Signal4
Signal5
GND
Signal6
Signal7
GND
Signal8
Signal9
PWR
Signal10
Signal11
GND
Signal12

The skinniest dielectric thickness is 4 mils, all signal layers are 0.5 Oz 
copper and plane layers are 1 Oz copper. The fastest signals are 100MHz, 
with rise times in 500ps range. 
My primary concern is the ratio of 6:12 of  plane layers to signal layers. 
I usually try to design for  a ratio of about 8:10 or 9:9. I know I will 
have to be very careful about crosstalk on adjacent layers, but other than 
that, what else should I be concerned about?

Thanks
Dave
