Nasir vs. Goliath

Of all the ways I've tried to splash a 4 influence card in Nasir, I'm convinced this has to be the best (sorry Morning Star and Siphon, A for effort). I've dropped 2 Acct. Siphons from my big rig Nasir build, freeing up a whopping 8 inf. so D4v1d + E3 is in and that freed up room for a one-off Parasite. I've also put in an Aesop's so that you can sell off Cache and D4v1d before clone-chipping them back out (Scavenging them will also work, but it won't provide the 3 credits from ol' Aesop).

Two questions about consistency though. With only one each of e3 and Aesop's, I'm worried about not seeing them in time to be useful. In order to free up the 2 inf. for e3, I'd drop Parasite. It's a useful program to have up your sleeve, but I've been playing without it to pretty good effect. And I'd also have to free up a second slot for Aesop's or just play with 46 cards. This is the aspect of deckbuilding I always struggle with, so any insight would be hugely appreciated!
