Read Dempsey's book and do the whole thing.
Splitting the case on anything *but* a 2.7 is a just a bit more money.

A 2.7 case is a different animal and will most likely require resizing - sending it to a west coast machine shop for +$1000 worth of work. I'm not saying you shouldn't split the case, just be aware of what you are in for.
