There is major difference I see between the solomon grimore and the Nec. In the solomon you are commanding spirts and in a sense hiding behind the name of god when dealing with these spirts. In the nec it states you are pretty much on your own, you can pray to the Gods but the Gods are forgetful and may not acknowledge your prayers. Something to keep in mind before you attempt any of the rituals.
Do you really think the Gods will not be as likely to help you when you call he nec spirits?
Do you also believe that when working with grimoires you are hiding behind the name of God?
I am not saying your ideas are not founded in literature... but mabey a little illogical.
One should consider the hermetic ramifications of what you just said.
