What he said!!

Been down this road, you don't want to end up with problems later...do it right the first time, if not it will come back to bite you in the ass later.

While not doing a barrier coat you MAY not have any issues, if you DO, you're in for a VERY VERY expensive bill.

All things considered, its a relatively cheap preventative step.
