By the time I add glass to both sides the new deck will probably be an inch.

The original core on mine was 3/8 with 1/8 glass on each side. I had planned on using 1/2 core as it would be a perfect fit with the new 1/8 on each side and the new deck resting on the lips but got a bunch of 3/4 Corecell off Ebay for cheap. With the 3/4 I have to thin the core by 1/8-3/16 in one small area for clearance on the stringer top (my stringers are not parallel with the deck plane). To save $500 its worth 5 min with a grinder.
