FX-1 Input Requested on FX-1 Rockered Nose (and more..)

I'm starting a winter build on my FX-1 and could use some input on a few things (actually a lot of things) since I don't think I have ever tackled a project of this caliber before. Right now I am trying to decided if I should rocker the nose and relocate the pole bracket further forward. In the mean time I am also working on swapping in a superjet pump cavity from Tom21, wider tray, footholds, tubbies and wider rails.

My biggest concern right now lies in rockering the nose and relocating the pole bracket. I've added a quick sketch below to try and show the steps that I have thought of for the rocker. Again, I have never done anything like this before so feel free to pick my ideas apart.

In fear of trying to separate the decks and having the smc top fall apart I think this might be the only route to go (pie cutting both decks near the nose, folding it up and then glassing it in place).

Thoughts?

What advantages could be had from moving the pole bracket lower and further forward? More control over the nose and maybe a less 'twitchy' feel?
 
If you rocker the nose way back there is no need to move the pole forward, its essentially the same thing. I got you covered on tubbies wide tray and footholds in one shot. Be the first to buy and ill give you a killer deal.

The more I'm thinking about it I may just have to wait on the nose job and bond rail changes. Pump, tray and tubbies for now, then if that turns out well I can go from there.
