I'll double check, but my understanding is that you need
to cover the Delta-FL with plywood only if you're laying carpet.
Laminate can go right on top, as per the Delta-FL installation
instructions at

Furthermore, the laminate I am using (Pergo Casual Living Exotics)
forbids, I think, a plywood or other subfloor between the moisture barrier and the
laminate.

If you know for sure that I'm wrong, please say so.
