Don't get discouraged. With all that mass and decoupling that you've worked so hard to get you're gonna be fine. Many successful rooms whave been built with the methods you are using. In my opinion (and experience) any slight coupling of the two hard surfaces facing each other is more than made up for with the extra mass, especially in the low frequencies.
