Need Bard Build Advice (To Rebuild or not)


Advice

Silver Crusade

Im Playing a PFS Songbird-Strix Maetro Bard and just reached level 3.
Because of doubts of what i want to achieve with my Build im seriously considering rebuilding my Character.

The Core of the Build are these 3 Class feats:

@LvL 1 Lingering Performance
@LvL 6 Dirge of Doom which makes Inspire Courage absolut (except in the rare case enemys are immune to it).
@LvL8 Inspire Heroics for the Synesthesia Combo.
I also use Bon Mot to lower Will Saves of my Enemies

Which means my lvl 2 and 4 Feats are basically free to choose.

Currently i have taken Sorcerer Dedication for Electric Arc and want to take Basicspellcasting at lvl 4 for extra spells slots and primal spells .

I still try to get the +1 Status Bonus to Hit for my team and there are 3 Ways for it:

1. Heroism: I kind of dislike the spell now, too short duration and only targets 1 player (i miss my good hope)

2. Bless: kinda underrated in my opinion. Lasts a minute and you can expand the emanation once per round. With good Positioning a lot of people can benefit from it. With Haste on the Bard you regain mobility.

3. Inspiring Marshal Stance
The best and trickiest Option and the reason for my potential rebuild.
The Aura starts of with 10ft with a reasonable chance of 20ft and once the stance is active it last the whole fight.

Getting Marshal Dedication is only possible with Human Ancestry - Versatile Heritage for Weapon Proficiency . Adapted Cantrip gives me Electric Arc which makes the Sorcerer Dedication irrelevant.
In addition the dedication bumps my Diplomacy to Expert which fress a Skill increase.
Virtuosic Performer replaces the Songbird Bonus.

Am i overthinking? Did i get a stupid idea in my head that i try to get to work or is a rebuild for Marshal worth it?

Hope to get some insight and your thoughts
