They wouldn't need to.
Heading to the capitol to take out the DSII seems like obvious bait for the rebels.
Yes, but you'd still have the imperial fleet supposedly spread throughout the entire galaxy trying to engage the alliance.
Your pros far outweigh the cons....by far. The one con with the bothans can be solved with a simple trim. In fact, she pauses before she says it.
Think of the conclusiveness this gives the story. It returns to the place where Palps rose to power.
Now onto the hangar:
Didn't lucas show the SSD hangar in the ESB:SE to look eerily similar to the DS hangars? You could even use the outtake shot of Vader walking down the ramp in the ESB:SE to show that side of the hangar so you could then use the wider shot of all the troops in the following ones.
Small trims could also accomplish the idea that Jerjerrod is on Coruscant but will return to the DS to redouble his efforts.
It would also be interesting to show how closed off the Emperor has become. Here is Commander Jerrjerod on Coruscant, but only Vader is able to see him. Jerrjerod's shock would then add more weight to the idea that the Emperor has been shut off, not just from the populace, but from all but Vader and his closest advisors.
