I don't quite agree with the first part of your statement, I do like that branch as is, but I agree that it might need a bit more on the left to balance it out.
Pinching that right hand branch a more heavily, and letting the left side grow out a bit, should let me achieve this.
The Top of the tree is still mostly wired anyway, I'll try and move the top left branch down a bit on the morrow and I'll make a virt along the lines of your suggestion.

Something like this (see virt)? Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are trying to tell me, but if I move the lower branches to a more upright pointing position, the angles in relation to the other branches seem to clash a bit. I realize it would need to grow out some more, but I don't really see those two branches ever achieving much girth, they are kind shaded out as it is at the moment.
