Considering Dr Ron Shapiro and new hairline

[forehead]

Hi there,
Firstly, this forum has been so helpful - much appreciated.
I'm considering having transplant with Dr Ron Shapiro. Had a couple of phone consultations (I'm from London) and the first (we haven't discussed it yet) proposed hairline from SMG is attached below.
My situation:
- 39 Male, started using hair loss treatments at 22.
- Have kept significant amount of hair.
- According to SMG that my hair is probably kept by treatments makes them likely to be less aggressive with my hairline, give chance to do fill in work later if required.
- my hair is very straight making me more suitable for FUE.
- I haven't decided on FUE or STRIP.
- The crown is ok.
- Can't stand my big forehead and really knocks my confidence.

Questions
- What do you think of the new hairline? part of me feels that it would need to be lower to make the HT worth it?
- FUE or STRIP? (think I know the arguments for/against but interested anyway).
- Should I wait for some new HT tech which is around the corner?
- Anyone had a hairline like mine and how was your HT results?
- Or anything you fancy commenting - would appreciated it.

Thanks
The Forehead
