That sounds like a winner to me as temps are always the biggest battle. Wagner products tempted on a few of my other cars. My only concern for myself is cutting a brand new car, granted i've done it to 3 other new cars for parts but this one in particular is a tough one lol.
When you look at how thin the metal is in that one spot you'll get over it super quick. I look at it as a better reason to upgrade to the CS hood in the future.
