It's great to see the replies coming! This definitely helps me with tricky decisions like this.
Since I'm always writing walls of text, it may be easy to miss it, so let me make this clear - I made this thread about 6 months ago, so the OP is outdated. This thread has been BUMPED to avoid making a new one on the same topic. I'm not sure if this was a sound decision, so my apologies if this has confused anyone!
As of now, I've already seen the first 4k words in Core + a handful of other words in the 6k/10k deck. I also have a personal deck with 1k words. Out of the remaining word in 6k, I'm pretty sure I won't need to add more than 1000-1100 words. I've also done RTK, so I won't have to pick up a whole bunch of new kanji along the way.
