My experience is you can get what you're willing to pay for. By placing
a TDR coupon on the PCB panel for outgoing test, any PCB house worth it's
salt should be able to hit +-10% without a cost adder. At +-5%, a nominal
cost increase might be necessary to cover fallout and material screening.
And finally, for +-1% the vendor will ship product to your dock in an
armored truck;-) Measurement correlation could be an issue as well.

Again, in my experience, +-5% is adequate for almost any job. Even +-10%
is adequate for many.

Good: An increase in routing density can be realized due to more routing
layers per unit height. How much is impossible to say, but some
practical bounds might be 25% on the low end to 75% top end. (Note:
these are "feel good" numbers, and are not backed by any data or
analysis whatsoever).
Bad: Very tight control of vertical and horizontal routing rules is required
because face-to-face coupling can be quite strong relative to side-to-side.
