No, it's definitely not about adding yet another empty dialog. Next to,
is "close to".

Then I hope you will get the blessing from Ken later as what I remember,
he wanted to remove as much from the summary as possible.

I believe you do, but as you did not write any of them here, it's hard
to compare what is worse :)

Anyway, I'm neither a designer nor a usability expert, although I've
already done quite some bad UI and learned from that a bit. If I knew
how to make a simply-looking and understandable UI while having all the
requested features, I would probably win a Nobel prize for design!

Thanks for taking care
