Be careful with the responsive templates...I'm having an awful time with page load speeds when I use the default install in 1.5.5d. The layout is okay but I do not like the performance.

It sounds like you are on the right path. I probably don't need to say this but...after you fresh install your test shop and before installing any other mods, I recommend you copy the classic files to your template system and modify the appropriate files with the suggestions on page 5 of this feed and test them first.

Good luck.
There's a plugin (Clone a Template) that will help! Just "clone" the classic template.
