I see your point David, and I have also discarded the double deck idea. I'm building the framework at 110cm, and the modules are 20cm, making for a railtop height of 130cm. I'm also going to modify my old sections and raise their height to match the new modules, making them easier to connect.
Regarding the track plan, it's going to be a variation of the Deane style fiddle yard, with a through station (modular) opposite the staging area and a terminus (my old sections) in front of it. The terminus will be on casters for easy access to staging if needed, but I can still reach across it on a daily basis.
Here are a couple of links explaining the Deane fiddle yard concept, for those of you not familiar with it:
