Hi LOTRJ, your final result is looking really great, looking forward to seeing a render!

One thing you may consider for something really small like this is to put a Chamfer in there with little flat facet instead of a Fillet with a fully rounded little piece.

If that piece of the model is really very small on the final rendering, the chamfer will end up looking pretty much the same but will help to keep the poly count down.
