The advice I can give you is talk to Karl first about closed loop, and siemens, I think you may be VERY surprised.

Lee just phone karl and explain you want it to be a bit safer at the top and would also like a bit more power. Also explain you would like bigger than greens incase you want to go more power in the future.

What about Greens ? should be able to get a good setup that is usable and still friendly. Since your currently on Yellows wouldn't they be enough of an increase ??

Get it on greys I would, NMS is very good, you can have nice low emissions and driveability when correctly mapped as Karl can do, so plenty in reserve as well.
