That's a good place for the inline adjuster - although I've seen a couple of folks on youtube put them after the first inch or so of cable coming out of the brifter for easier access. I haven't decided where mine will go yet.
I'll be interested to hear how your conversion goes. Sounds like you've got a top-pull derailleur? Mine's a bottom pull. I *think* they use different pull ratios, but then apparently so do mtb vs road, but it hasn't caused me any problems so far.
