Maybe.

Actually they had 1000x500 too, and a whole range of other sizes.  I got the 
1200x600 because I'm making a stand for my TV and other equipment to go 
underneath.  After I worked out the required dimensions it came pretty close 
to 1200x600 so I fixed the design to that.  When I got to the shop it was a 
coincidence that the exact size was available, I was expecting to have to 
ask them to cut it for me.
