Hi Doug

There's no argument that minimising the length, and maximising the =
width, of the connection from C to planes minimises the inductance. Same =
goes for connecting component pads to planes. Both are important.

Between connections on a plane there is really a very low impedance.

The C between planes can be a very useful component as well, if they =
placed close together.
