Scott, it sounds like you have properly tempered your expectations and steeled yourself against the very real possibility of "problems" over the course of developing this channel. Is the Dean originally designed +/- as a corner horn, and do you plan to use it +/- this way?
I would not say the 515s are toys, rather people seem to insist to make them play ULF, which they are not suited for. In the A7 bins, they dropped off like a rock below 50 Hz, and to push them below this will at least take exponential power, along with the "special" X/O, and all that comes with that. I don't know the other driver you mention, or how it would suit that cabinet. No doubt you have done your homework, and you have built in ways to accommodate it over your desired frequency range. Anyway, from what you say, it sounds to me like you will be making this channel the "pivot" of your speaker, and if this is the case, then you can probably make it work, one way or another, once you get it voiced to suit yourself.
Best regards,
