Well, I was waiting for others with more experience to chime in, but from my perspective, I'd vote to add the extension. From my understanding of Pollman basses, this would be a very worthy candidate for an aspiring orchestral player and the extension would put it over the top.
I just wish is was out here on the left coast when it's done. I've love to get my hands on it and get to know the feel of a Pollman - especially with the extension.
I'm sure whatever decision you make, it'll work out well for you. From all the contributions you've made to the instrument in general, your positive bass karma has to be overflowing by now...
