well having never done carving myself, so this is just opinion....
i'd leave as much of the top in place as possible to help the plant heal. it sounds like it's in your head to do it so do it cautiously.
you may also have some die back. so best to leave some extra for now. maybe cut what looks like last year's growth back by half? especially since you don't really have a "vision" for the tree yet. let it grow then do a drastic chop next year maybe...
just my 2 cents....
