Hello Drake,
I'm getting very close to plunging into my first radiant floor project.
I'm trying to scheme up a relatively lightweight 'sandwich' which will be high-efficiency. From all I have read, lightweight and high-efficiency are mutually exclusive, where radiant floors are concerned.
Have you thought about how you will do your floors?
BTW, I stayed at a house with nice warm slab floors this past weekend, and it was very nice indeed. I now know that it is well worth the effort to go radiant. They used a Rinnai wall mount boiler (propane).
I was amazed at how small the heating plant was for such a large house.
