Good luck! When you figure out that kits have shortcomings, you eventually conclude that you have to make the changes to bring the model up to your standards, figure out how much detail you want to put into the model, then start the planning process of designing and purchasing materials and part or making parts in that direction. Keep the work flow moving to prevent stagnation. We're looking forward to seeing your build!

The tricky bit for me is in drawing a line. Easier to decide on no bashing at all than to try to only go so far.

Easier, yes, but not nearly as satisfying as adding your personal touches. Even a small to moderate amount of mods and additions makes a huge difference in the model's appearance. You don't have to go full scratch-built to get good results.
