The floors do all sit at 10-brick intervals according to the revision discussion
from last year. That does mean that two stacked layers would need 4 bricks and
1 plate spacing if they maintain the same interior dimensions as the hallway
connection. At least one listed justification for this height was that it would
be easier to remember exactly how many bricks of height you'd need for other
layers (10,20,30 as compared to 8,16,24)
I don't remember if the Monorail system was a consideration in this, but whether
by coincidence or intent, the Monorail ramps result in a 10-brick height change,
so everything matches up perfectly at every layer. Well, except for the fact
that Monorail track always sits at the same height as the floors, so you need
quite a step-up (at least 2-1/3 brick to match the sled height) for a Monorail
station platform.
