it's all good with me, buddy. I'm used to all their crap "do it this way or else" attitudes. Every build leaves power on the table. It's each individual's decision what they want to build. You and I have chatted enough that I know "just about" what you want. I like these type discussions. What I don't like is when some of these guys barge in telling members that what their doing won't run run worth crap unless they do "this this and this". You're not making any glaring mistakes. You're gonna have a great running engine and it's going to be really reliable. Keep on truckin brother!
