Very thorough, well thought out and nicely executed
As you discovered sometimes more is better
My SCS units had both intake and exhaust thru the floor and solid basement doors.
It seems as though Newell changed to door venting around 1998 so I assume they did that for better exhausting
Without measuring, it looks like your door vent is larger than my floor vent,
Have you experimented with forcing the exhaust thru the door like the SCS did with some kind of shroud/duct between the fan and the door?
Seems like that would stop your airflows from mixing completely
Just thinking out loud
