Volume for an EPS

If it's a 1.5lb EPS blank, then you could probably go down 1L.
If they're using a 2lb blank, I would just do the same literage (literage is @ghostshaper favorite word).
My opinion is to keep the literage the same. A typical light or "performance" poly blank has a density around 2.2lbs I believe. So you're a lot closer to your typical poly board than if he was using a 1.5lb EPS blank. That being said, it's still lighter and you could go down 0.5L or thin the rails if it makes you feel better. Do what you're most comfortable with.
With a stringered 2lb EPS blank, I would keep your glassing schedule the same as the poly boards you typically like. No need to go heavier with this particular set-up. If it was stringerless or 1.5lb foam, then it makes sense to go heavier on the glassing.
Hopefully you'll get some other opinions too.
You might want a little weight if your worried about winds. All my eps/epoxy 6/4 6 medium CFT accept step up is 6/6 6 heavy CFT and can barely tell difference.
If u want more durability without adding too much weight I like 4+4x4+4. Deck dents don't bother me but bottom dents do.
