    Andy-

    The 2 layers of 1/2" ply with staggered seems (with the 2nd layer running at a right angle to the first) will give you a stronger subfloor than using 1 layer.

    The dew point temp is somewhere inside the foam, so the face of the foam is warmer and not subject to condensation.

    And, you need an acceptable subfloor.

    Brett-

    If you're building the cabinets, you could also run the cabinet sides high, then add a front nailer and as many layers of molding as you want.

    I've seen it done this way as well.

    Check the CFM rating at either 90 or 40psi.

    There are lots of guns available now that have low CFM requirements. I recently picked up an Asturo mini that only requires 3-4 CFM @ 40.
