If Coruscant is the target why would the Emperor sit there?
In such a Scenario it would optimum sense to have the Emperor on Endor or on a ship far away from the battle.
Having him on a Death Star makes more sense than having him on Coruscant.

Oops! My bad, you are clearly not running with that serving suggestion.
Coruscant is not the target. The DS2 orbiting Endor is.
You still have the DS2 secretly operational that starts blowing ships up like the original cut. You just have Luke/Vader/Palpy observing it all from the Imperial Palace throne room on Coruscant.
