However; regardless of strapping or not, with a ribbon joist at both ends it would be easy to pull a string (an eighth or quarter low) to set the new joists perfectly.

Thanks. The existing ceiling drywall is screwed right to the joists, no strapping.  (I'm in Rochester, not quite New England
Smile    I'll see what the drywall guy prefers when/if it comes to it.
