Ok, thank you for the advice.

I was wondering if there is any reason I should NOT do this.

Take my private key, which I use in a different HW wallet and have it also in Armory, so that I can make use of the advantages of the other wallet along with Armory's backup and advanced features.


The specific scenario would be this:

-take the mnemonic seed from a backup of hardware wallet
-load that mnemonic seed into electrum or bitcoin core on an offline computer
-extract the same private key from electrum or bitcoin core (so that I have a format that Armory will understand)
-load the private key into Armory also in the offline computer
-then export the watch only Armory wallet into an online computer with Armory

If I am correct, this will allow me to:
-use either the hardware wallet or Armory to send, receive or cold storage
-I will have a fully node validating my transactions, which I do not currently have with the HW wallet
-I will have all kinds of fragmented, multisig, encrypted backups from Armory

Hopefully soon Armory will support BIP39 seeds

Nonsense. Unless the price goes up significantly, bitcoin will not be useful for truly large transactions. Right now if somebody wants to buy a couple million dollars worth of bitcoin, it's really difficult, and the transaction would make the price spike (or tumble). A large market cap means more liquidity and more possibilities for the network.? If you just want to be able to settle your cable bill, a low price is fine, I guess.
