To WW fold or sandwich cardstock

So, a while ago I designed some freight models for railroads and I included several models of pallets in various configurations. In my naivety I designed the model in such a way that the stringers were intended to be scored and reverse-scored (alternating red and blue arrows) so that the builder would create a WW pattern before gluing into a solid piece about 2mm thick. Attached are pictures of the model in 1:48 or O-scale pallet.

As I build more, I'm finding that I could just provided the outside pieces and told the builder to "Sandwich Part 1 and 2 between 2mm of card stock." That is, a lot less work, would afford me a lot more space per page for more pallet models ... but maybe not everyone has cereal boxes or stock supplies sufficient.

Which would you modelers and designers prefer? Should I provide the WW foldable part, or instructions to sandwich? Or should I assume modelers are smarter than me, see a complicated part and realize, "Oh, duh, I see what he's doing there. I'll make this easier for me, cause I can."
