An off-the-wall thought on your hover tests and nitrogen capacity: if your propellant tank has a manhole cover, maybe you can put some stainless steel floats inside the tank to fill up some of the ullage volume? They're available cheap from McMaster-Carr, plain 304 or 316 stainless spheres with no mounting spuds.
They'll also help with slosh control. I have heard (from a reliable source that I'm not sure I'm permitted to disclose) that DC-X had extremely serious propellant slosh problems, much worse than are generally known. OTOH, there are folks on this list with better inside scoop on DC-X than I have, so maybe this isn't news.
