To slide or not to slide?

Greetings,
I got started on my third valve circuit yesterday and was able to get the top crook paralleled, soldered and the outer tubes braced. Looking at the bottom crook, I'm trying to decide whether or not to put a tuning slide there. I should have plenty of pull on the upper slide, and there will be a spit valve on the lower crook, so emptying water won't be an issue. The only thing I can think of would be aesthetic, so that you see ferrules on the bottom like you do on the first valve.
What say ye? To slide or not to slide?
Here it is last night with the lower crook and tubing just dry fitted. The only thing soldered at this point is the top crook and the brace between the outer tubes.
