I am thinking that I would prefer to rip out the floors even at greater expense than tile over them. Half of my bids are from guys that want to rip it all out, the other half insist that we need to tile over the existing wood and saltillo floors.

My main reason for wanting to rip them all out would be to avoid huge thresholds on the new tile job.

Any thoughts, cautions, or ideas?

I'm sure you've made you decision by now based on when you posted your message. We left our flooring and tiled right over the cement boards. We have a step down into our adjoining room and I was concerned about the threshold. My contractor suggested we go with a granite threshold and now I'm so pleased with the way it turned out.

Here is a link that might be useful: porcleain tile with granite threshold
