It does look like Infalliable Messenger and Travel Without Distance are the least controversial options, which is kind of a shame. Demon of the Second Circle is a really good utility spell and one that can provide a capable (if somewhat distorted) guardian / administrator for Luseng (much better as a guardian, of course, unless you like SWLIHN-esque mechanics), and continue to pay dividends month after month as long as you have some way of supervising the demons so conjured. Each 2CD is like an E3 Solar ally!
As for the Sundial Throne, are you guys sure about taking an option that so closely locks you to Luseng? The workshop area is small, so it's not like you can mass-produce stuff within it; at best, you can create small-ish 3CD-level entities one at a time, though there isn't really enough room to fit you, Moon, Nilul, (Pearl), (Lily), and them in there comfortably. That means another Ambition 2 Solar Circle Working to expand the spatial parameters of the space from the inside, which is another 20,000 committed XP and 2 weeks.
It's a multiplier on your personal productivity and that of your friends (so long as you don't mind sharing fairly cramped conditions with them), but it doesn't affect the productivity of Luseng itself much at all, except insofar as you can crank out more Prophecies.
Finally, remember that you can vouch for a 3CD-level creation without buffing Moon or accepting the Knight of Jade; if it's popular, I can write up some alternatives. If you are feeling lucky, you can also try for a 2CD-level creation, which can be completed in one week with the Lily's aid if you are willing to accept lower Finesse and a bit of gambling with the dice, though it would still cost 30,000 XP. Still, very time-efficient compared to the 3+ weeks it'd take to create a 3CD-level entity.
And, of course, there's always the plan to create a Primordial through generating 13 3CD-level entities and then casting various Ambition 3 Solar Circle Workings to change the nature of reality, binding them together, upgrading one into a fetich, allowing them to spawn subsouls, and finally unleashing a Titan of your own design upon the world!
