Macfly, if you use a terrestrial for the indicator, you will have to play with length of tippet to the dropper. I'd start off with that 6' and maybe shorten as needed.
We are begining to think alike.
I take a 7 1/2' leader (my favorite length) then I take 5' of flouro (but keep in mind, if the leader is a 4X the flouro I use will be a 4lb because I haven't found 5lb in regular flouro and tippet is too expensive. Plus remember flouro is strong)
I take that 5' and use a Triple Surgeons knot to attach it to the leader...BUT I attach it so the tag is 2' long and the running line is 3' long. Then I don't clip the tag, I add a fly.
Does that make sense?
