I battled with the decision between solid and truss too, in the end I think it was the looks of the LB that sold it as much as the convenience of the truss. A conversion from solid tube to truss sounds like a BIG job and to tell you the truth, the main convenience of the truss is purely in the transport and carrying around. The whole thing is considerably easier to carry by the trusses, which is not an issue if you are using a hand trolley. Also I have a station wagon which makes disassembly redundant too BUT since I've owned it I've already been on a trip with a friend with a smaller car, which I would not have been able to do if I had a solid tube so that was convenient too. Obviously these have not deal breaking features, but handy none the less.
So personally I don't know if the work of conversion would be worth it. Having said that, you can give it a shot without really taking your current scope out of comission until everything is ready and if you enjoy tinkering around (and trust that you can do a good and precise job), I reckon you would have something you could really be proud of at the end of it.
