I think a few hundred metres longer is fine if it results in a better trail.
"Better" is not a well defined term. For some, shorter *is* better, for others, more scenic and meandering is better, for others, quieter is better. Balancing all needs isn't easy.
From my perspective, this is intended to be a commuting trail. I would set priorities as:
(0. Paved---I hope this is a given).
1. Speed/Directness/Speed of crossing major barriers.
2. Separation from cars.
3. Lighted (although given the IHT isn't, this is future thinking).
4. Anything else.
But I recognize that other's may have different priorities.
