Thank you all. I guess I'll be ordering the 12.5mm then. And aha, I'll be using the soundproof boards in my attic as I'm turning it into a games room/office/bar type thing eventually.
Will post progress pictures when I get the boards.

I haven't put a 1/2 inch board on a ceiling for years, Honest gov since chippies stoped putting noggind in the joists
I tend to use soundblock as a matter of course and care of duty to my client ( i know they are £2 a board dearer) but with insulation between floor joists and db board makes for a better job houses sound like a bloody echo chamber as it is
I prefer riven oak/sweet chestnut lath though, so I got some funny ideas

if i get a lime job in you neck of the woods, ill give you a shout. its not rocket science, if you can plaster, you can lime plaster. its just understanding the material and not rushing things, Its a much nicer world than building boxes. it never ceases to put a smile on my face
