You could float it on polystyrene insulation boards, cheap and quick. If you want to batten it out, don't use sand/cement to level it, just use shims. Bits of plywood glued into place with some no nails.
 
my reason for batoning out is the new slab when poured is 10 to 15 mm high or low spots in places,, so battoning seems the best bet ,,
