Which laminate underlayment to use? Please say cork.

I'm putting click-together laminate flooring in an upstairs 8'x12' room. I had to pull up about 3 feet of floor to level it by sistering in some 2x4s and putting a 3/4" sheet of plywood over those. The line between the old and new floors isn't perfect. There's a 1/8" height difference in a few spots.
I have the recommended premium underlayment from the place I purchased the flooring. I also happen to have enough 3/16" cork panels to cover the entire floor, which I suspect will even out the height difference.
Can I use the cork instead of the underlayment? Or do I have to bite the bullet and redo the leveling? All suggestions welcome.
