It's a very valid comment! I'm going to be cladding some walls and making a desk/shelving so I'd like it all to have a consistent finish. If I can find a cheaper veneered with the same face finish it's definitely an option.
@TW, another valid thought, there shouldn't be any flex as it'll be over a substantial base.

Why birch ply? I would have thought (potentially naively) that most of the appeal is in the end grain, which won't be seen in your application. So you may be able to use a cheaper veneered alternative to get the same look?
