So the build calls for "Baltic Birch"  I just looked at the 3/4" x 4' x 8' Baltic Birch Plywood and it seems it's a special order product by my location and it's almost $70 a sheet plus shipping whatever they will try to charge me for that too! Can I get away with these 2 options or any other recommendations in the Chicago land area?

Spend the $70 a sheet (I buy from Menards).

'C' has knots in the wood (junk).
