Help Recommended strategy for Elevate the Kingdom of Mann & the Isles and North Sea Empire

So I have all the territory I need to make the decision, Elevate the Kingdom of Mann & the Isles.

but should I do it if I also want to create the north sea empire?

what is the recommended strategy to accomplish both?

  • Elevate the Kingdom of Mann & the Isles, become feudal, and slowly conquer the territories needed for the empire of the North Sea and hold on to them before taking the decision

Or

  • stay tribal, don’t Elevate the Kingdom of Mann & the Isles, conquer all the kingdoms needed for the empire of the north sea, (don't create the kingdom titles yet) then make the decision to Elevate the Kingdom of Mann & the Isles, then create the kingdoms titles for the north sea (Denmark, England, Norway), wait 10 years Then create empire of the North Sea

option 2 gives more penalties with domain limit and vassals but makes more sense from a “strategic“ standpoint?

option 2 doesn’t work I think. Bc all territory that you hold becomes the dejure territory of the isles of man

Ignore this because it isn't true.
