Also I think your choice of flooring material would make a difference. I'm not sure I'd want to install tile over all those subfloors. Maybe over the 2" dricor but I'd feel like a decoupling membrane on top would be safer still. But then you'd just have cold tile. All this depends on your choice of flooring.
Still very much just in planning stages. But the rolled out moisture barrier/rigid foam/plywood subfloor would be instead of dricore. I figure it's higher R-value and likely cheaper. I would then do carpet with traditional underlayment. My guess is I lose 2" of height pre-carpet.
