Default Building from a kit & ran out of balsa

I'm building a OMP Edge 540 and ran out of balsa. Still have the ailerons to build, so i went to the LHS and bought some 1/4x1/4 and 1/4x3/8. The balsa is the standard "house of balsa brand" and it just does not appear to be the same grade that came with the kit. The density of the wood is not as dense as the wood that came with the kit. Should I find a better source to buy better quality balsa to finish the ailerons with or am I being paranoid. Just don't want to lose a plane because of poor quality balsa.
