Default Doubled up 9.5mm PB vs 12.5mm PB

Is there any downside to using 2 sheets of 9.5mm on studwork walls (will
be skimmed) vs 1 sheet of 12.5mm?

I have relatively little wall to cover compared to ceilings and it would
simplify ordering and storing to work with one type.

And I could overlap all joints in the 1st sheet which seems like a bonus.

Just wondered if there were any major downsides?


GripIts only work on 9.5-15 mm plasterboard? I know that's almost
certainly not major but if you were planning to use dozens of them and
only found out later ...
