.The Ditra will not eliminate any flex in the floor. You still risk cracking the tile or the grout joints

Ditra or similar material is a great crack isolater. We no longer set tile directly on top of slab floors but always use a crack isolation membrane or roll Hydroban over it. If not, cheap Red Guard will achieve the same result. Its cheap insurance from movement coming thought the slab causing crack tiles.
