I would experiment first by removing unnecessary gears, bolt a knarp to the cable and add a few cassette spacers. If you want a dork disc in case you smash your derailleur, hack and grind the teeth off one of the gears you removed, or find a discarded cog and remove the teeth.
Damn, $303, my 8 speed cassette has 1 more gear and cost $283 less.
Also I see more sense in running a 12t top gear and running spacers towards the outside so you can move the rear mech inwards away from nasties.
Specialized had it right with the 135x12mm spacing, to have a 157mm axle and a waste of space between the disk mount and the spoke flange then have unused space on the cassette end is retarded. Narrow back ends and lower Q factor cranks is the way to go, I don't like new standards but a short Cassette bodied 135/142mm DH hub would be sweet.

sram: fvcking expensive
I have a 157 rear and I just did a 6 speed with a zee deraileur. Didn't even need a longer set screw.Seems to work perfect and lost alot of unnecessary weight.
