Hi Todd -- I'd think the Geode-per-Drawable might improve cull performance in your case, as it's faster to cull against bounding spheres than boxes.
I've been working with complex CAD data for over a year and have had good results with some models by inserting OcclusionQueryNodes at strategic locations. You might take a look at that. If you are working with PolyTrans to convert the CAD data, you should email me offline. I've been developing some tools to ease that process.
