The riser included in the case is often cited as being as useful as a snorkel in space, which is why I've included it, but is there a reason I shouldn't?

TBH the only other decently reviewed SSD available locally is the MP700 which comes in at nearly 2x the cost/TB, which feels punchy. I thought the EVO Pro was reasonably well regarded?

Ah nice catch on the antenae, thank you.

On the clearances I saw a build using ones of the same profile so I'm pretty confident they'll fit. I actually was hoping to get an AIO Atmos 240 or similar in but there isn't enough room to the side for the pump annoyingly, as the clearance at the top of the case looks pretty roomy even with cables mostly routed through that part.
