Depends on what you are looking for, but the most likely effect is the
possibility of noise coupling directly between the two power planes. With
the stackup as shown here, 5V couples tightly to L6 and more loosely to L2,
giving enhanced plane-to-plane capacitance. If 2.5V needs to be the less
noisy, then switch L9 and L5 layers.

An excellent suggestion, Mitch.

Any benefit to switching L6 with L9?
