Honeycomb is not a very good material for structural components, even more so if you have no idea what you are doing in terms of its design , utilization and layup.

Any carbon greater than about 4oz/yd is overkill as well for 95% of the people in this hobby.

And finally

multiple light layers will be stronger than one or two layers of a heavier cloth when the total fabric weight is equal.
