re: Vinyl Vs. Hardwood

Gumbeaux,
The vinyl is the top layer, but the underneath is pvc type material and has very little give or flexibility. If the floor is level you can lay it over the existing floor with no problem. If the floor has humps or dips you will have a problem. Its going to depend on that more than the sheetvinyl you are going over.
If the floor humps and dips a water resistant laminate would work better. It is the opposite of LVP, where it has a harder outer layer and softer underneath. Laminate is much more forgiving in those situations.

Thanks...the floor is level so I think I’ll move forward with laying the planks over the sheet vinyl without a pad under the planks. It will save a lot work.
