Is this possible? I'd really like your input!

Hi all!
I'm new to Freestyler but have worked with Martin's LJ before - already installed by someone else though so this is going to be my first install and I'm quite happy to use Freestyler.
First up - here are the basics:
The venue is smallish (250 people) and already has lights that we want to use.
We're going to use the Enttec Open DMX USB Interface
The PC is a dual core Intel desktop - we'll be using a powered USB hub for the interface.
All lights are hung from 3 way aluminium truss so I plan to separate the DMX and Power by having them attached to two separate tubes.
The lights consist of Martin Roboscan 812s, NJD Datamoons, LED Parcans and LED Spotlights with two lasers.
This is the plan:
Bold highlights the light make/model and normal is the cable I'll be using - now I know it would make some kind of sense to make sure all the 5 Pin XLR cable were a row but as they are on a rectangle shaped truss I thought I'd try and keep it as easy as possible and go from A to B. As this is my first time with Freestlyer I thought it might also help should any problems arise.
If anyone has any comments / questions or tips - I'm all ears and would love to hear from you!
Kind Regards & Many Thanks!
