Seed pixel megatree

[Kent]

I'm looking at putting a seed mega tree together this year: ~1.4m base, ~3m tall, 2.5cm spacing (5cm doubled back at the top).

I have a couple of concerns due to being based on seed pixels rather than strip + bullet / square nodes:

1. Will I have issue with varying node brightness if I don't take particular care to ensure all of the seeds point outwards?
2. Given the greater 'transparency' of the tree, and that seeds are somewhat viewable from the back, am I going to run into issues with whatever is showing on the back of the tree coming through to the front, interfering with effects / images shown on the tree? Because of the location, I'm aiming for at least 270°.

Interested to hear anyone's thoughts, particularly if you already have made one.

The other challenge with splicing -- if you're relying on the seeds alone to do the spacing -- you need to spice them to exactly 5cm/2.5cm/whatever. It's not an issue with regular pixels in strip - the strip handles the spacing.
