And don't forget that if any of this cloud is about 3000' you need a much larger gap to descend through than if it's all under 3000'. You can be legally flying above a cloud layer which you can't legally desend through, if it's lots of little clouds without any gaps large enough for you to have the 5km forward visibility you need above 3000'.
