Dwarf Fuzzy Lions

Hello. I just read your fantastic and very informative lionfish article, and am hoping that you may be able to give me some advice given your vast knowledge and experience with these fish. I currently have 2 dwarf fuzzies. I have a 110 gallon reef (with 50 gallon sump/fuge) that I am planning on converting to a much larger system in the next year or two. I would like to put the fuzzies in the 110 at that time and ideally add 1-2 more lionfish. Given all of my reading, my choices seem to be limited to more fuzzies, dwarf zebras, or the antennata. I would be concerned that the larger lions would consume my fuzzies. I have no problem with more fuzzies, but it would be nice to have a bit more variety. You note that fuzzies seem to harass the dwarf zebras, so I am tentative to add them. Do you have any suggestions? What would your opinion/advice be if you were to add more lions to 2 fuzzies? Thank you so very much for your time and the great article.
