Den,
I wish I could agree, and some may agree with you. Someone said it's "all opinions."
What will you fix the imperfections with, more silver paint? I don't think so.
If your a diehard front row guy you'll probably use a two part putty, even a two part primer for that matter.
One light from one direction, then move the light.
I have 1.75 glasses. If your eyes are bad, go to 2. Brings the surface in close.
I used a really nice white primer on some of the last models I've finished. Look at my old Builds.

I'm out of the Build business.
You saw the ARGO 2, but the ARGO is finished a tad better.
Go with the primer. Find and fix all the imperfections as best you can with a good grade putty. Then load on the actual color.
That'll get knocked down again with 600 or so anyway. The model should be nice by then.
