So, will your old school head accept decarbed thca isolate instead? Maybe. They don’t sound super informed, so it could go either way.
If you’re doing this right you never had diamonds.
If it’s faster and less effort, and affords equal or greater purity, it seems silly to go the long way round unless you’ve got a good reason.
I can’t think of many (minors come free with your hot dog water).
The tracking problem (lack of accumulator tags) in metrc is what currently keeps me from making dish-dillate with cannabinoids (dish-liquor) reclaimed in our dish-licker (dishes aren’t yet clean, but the good stuff is gone 
).
Edit: upgraded so it can now clean jars in a more effective manner
