You only lose about 3mm.  Are your prints that tall?  The granite certainly costs more in height.   I've been doing pretty well with just glass and hairspray.  I'm a little concerned about the weight of the granite (about 1lb) and the fact that the bed is cantilevered.  I don't want to warp anything from the prolonged weight.

i print that last night.... you can see the nozzle of the printer 3 or 4mm from the top of the head. it use the full height of the solidoodle space... i need that 3mm big_smile

I understand the desire for the full height for mechanical pieces and other dimensionally critical pieces, but it is pretty much beyond the capability of the human eye to distinguish between 147 mm and 150 mm. By the way, I hope you changed your end g code so that it does not try to lower the bed at the end of the print and grind your z axis at the end.
