I would dump the CMC at the feedpoint, then perhaps  use a CMC  way downstream 
, like just
before the coax meets the tower..or at the base of the tower..or both.

Nope! The first choke should ALWAYS be at the feedpoint. Additional chokes farther down the line can be used to prevent current induced on the feedline from causing grief in the shack (like with your rack full of un-necessary audio processing gear). :)
