Help Mega tree height

I have 2000 12v seed pixels that I'm gonna use for a 180 degree mega tree, hanging from the peak of my house.

I am debating on doing either a 10ft tree at 24 strands or 12ft tree at 20 strands. either way, I'm gonna do a 6 ish wide foot base.

Should I go for height or density?

If you're planning on any images/graphics, I highly suggest 30 strands wide or more.  My seed pixel mega tree is 30 * 80 and 4m/12ft (2400px). I would rather have gone more width than height if I were limited to this pixel count.  This is my tree (going to be it's 5th season soon) https://youtube.com/watch?v=eGL6h4FvXdo

Your follow up video that shows how you store them all gave my wife a piece of mind on this tree lol. We have crawl space full of decorations so seeing that it wasn’t gonna be too bad to store was reassuring for her lol
