Engineered Timber - 1.5mm veneer

Page 1 of 1
Can someone explain the difference between Super Tough Engineered Timber (Oak) and Engineered Timber (Oak) specifically to the top layer veneer thickness. I've seen some places sell either a floorboard where the top layer veneer is 1.5mm (15mm floorboard), 4mm (15mm floorboard), and 6mm (20mm floorboard).

eg; this pic looks like 4-8mm of real hardwood
The top veneer is the actual timber on the boards - - I would not personally go with 1.5mm veneer board due to it being to thin. 4mm to 6mm veneer boards are seen in most reputable high end engineered boards.
