Ground board thickness

Hi everyone

I was wondering if it makes a difference going with 1/2" or 3/4" thick plywood for the ground board on a 12.5" scope? With the load always on the Teflon which is always over the feet does it help at all to have thicker ground board or is 1/2" just fine. Trying to save some weight if I can.

Thanks
John Carroll
