Any reason, other than cost, not to buy the 3/4 width spruce spars from
Aircraft Spruce and make your ribs accordingly?

Ken,
Quarter sawn Spruce is the preferred type of aircraft wood, and is what all
other types are judged from. Cost is the only reason that alternatives have
been used. If you do use spruce, some of the cost is returned in dividends
through a lighter airframe, and as far as any type of built up spar, time is saved.
