inbreeding to storm cat

Friends:
I'm sure this has been a topic of discussion before on this board but i cant research it through the search feature very well and would appreciate opinions by others who may have the current dope...
The conventional wisdom seems to be not to inbreed to Storm Cat . I have a mare out of a decent family, whose sire is the underrated Lion Heart (still in Turkey?)....She wasn't so much as runner as we were always trying to hold her together.... she carried a flaw of her Dam ( turned in left front) but was an honest claimer at the lower levels in Louisiana.

I am considering breeding her to Half Ours which would give me Storm Cat 3x4 in the center of the pedigree. The Half Ours foals I've seen are muscular , smart and generally sound. This would give her three strains of Mr. P in the 5th gen.

Any thought on having Storm Cat 3x4?
