Well a roll of rosen paper is 12 bucks for 500 sq ft. He has just under 500 to do total. The stuff with the backer is like 5-10 bucks more per 20sq ft and I dunno if he cares about the ease of anything!

Okay, but you will still need to use the foam backer they recommend instead of rosen though, or you could get pops and squeaks. Laminate needs to give a little in my experience. You could use that in combination, but not as a substitute. At least i wouldnt. If we are talking about a rental or selling it quick, then I suppose who cares.
