8 ft Pixel Tree

So i am planning to add a pixel tree for this year however looking through the forum on Mega Trees not seeing anything similar to what i am planning and wanted to get opinions on sizing. The part i do know, I already have 16 strings of 25 CT GECE's to use, and i'll be using either the e680 or e682 i have as well.

My front yard it pretty small and my options of where to put my tree pretty much limits me to one spot. Due to this I don't want to block the rest of the house/display with a 12-15ft plus tree. I am thinking of a full tree with the 16 strings, and having the lit portion to about 8 ft. with the base hoop about 4.75 to 5 ft in diameter and the top of the tree at about 6.5 to 7 in in diameter. With the planned 8ft height of the lit portion, the spacing on the pixels would be just over 3 inches.

The main things i am looking for opinions on is should i go with a full tree or a half tree? I don't really plan on doing any text scrolling, and with the vertical spacing being fairly tight on the pixels the horizontal spacing i came up with would be similar to a taller tree with more strings so not sure "fullness" would be an issue. Also is the pixel spacing too tight? Should i bump up the either a foot or two to make the pixel spacing closer to the more typical 4 in (100mm)?

I am open to any other suggestions as well.
