 i knoow...   btw can you possibly investigate why, when you hit

 in a stack you tell the factory what thicknesses you want, as well as
what material in between, and what thickness of that, too.  so you get
different capacitance on different layers.  thus, the problem is: you
cannot guarantee the impedance will be identical on different layers.
so having differential pairs on different layers is the worst possible
thing you could do.... *unless* you have access to PCB simulators.
which are ultra-expensive.
