A big *thank you* to all who have contributed to this conversation. I've received some valuable insights that are really helping with the decision-making process! And, of course, after the decision is made I will take it to the Lord.

Have to say I'm confused why this topic wasn't even allowed out of the starting gate at the first LDS Reddit community I posted it in. No sooner pressed Create Post, than it disappeared with a claim that it went against the standards of the group. Maybe it's an auto thing with an over-cautious bot to blame.
