I did the same a few years ago and used micon csc over a fresh epoxy barrier coat and it did look good. (I had that same that scum line and it is nasty above the waterline...I may raise the bottom paint a bit on this new boat just to avoid that issue)
The problem I have with the micron is the colors...I just don't find them that appealing. The blue is too light and the black is not really black. I had black and it was more brown then black. Yeah it looked OK but I want it to look great! I was thinking of going to a green bottom on this boat for a bottom paint and changing brands to get a better look, that is really why I posted the question. I never liked green bottoms but saw a boat painted with a teal green bottom paint with a dark green boot and it had a yellow hull and it looked great!

No question ablative is the way to go, at least for me anyway. I hate a buildup of paint that doesn't work anymore, no thanks.
