On the capacity loss issue, wouldn't changing the cap tube out for a TXV help alleviate some of that? This is the one I was looking at.

Externally equalized but it's flare fittings so maybe less chance of burning it up.

Another option:

Internally equalized so one less joint, but brazing a heat sensitive component is risky. Going to practice brazing before I work on the system but I'll still be pretty green.
