As to the levelling, I am having a hard time justifying that extra effort for a basement floor. My other thought is that by the time I lay the vapour barrier and the "underlay" any unevenness will be mitigated. What considerations am I missing? (It is about a 12 year old house and had carpet before.) I have the carpet removed.
Thanks again.

My biggest concern would be cracking of the floor or of the tongue/groove fastening system on the laminate if the floor is not level.
Not really a huge expense to use self-leveling compound before you start.
