I've been on Leviathan and Banshee. The trims on Leviathan are silent and they cannot be felt unless you're really concentrating on them. Banshee has a trim just after the zero-g roll but I've yet to have a ride where the trim has been activated. I wouldn't worry about the trim too much.

The one aspect of Fury 325 that I really like is that it focuses all on speed during the first half of the ride. My only gripe with Leviathan is that is loses quite a bit of speed after the first big camelback hill. Fury 325 is going to provide a better sensation of speed for a longer portion of the course and then switch to airtime at the end when the ride is slowing down, which will provide a much better experience IMO.

Would really like to know if anybody who joined the ace event could clarify when vertical construction might start and when they are planning to open the ride?

I guess they talked about these things during the event....

The first supports should start to go up around September 29th. Everyone said the ride is currently slated for a "Spring 2015" opening (good move not promising something they may not be able to deliver, like Six Flags), but obviously they are pushing for Opening Day (which may or may not be March 28th...).

Do you think that the park may open at a later date? Or if they are so far ahead, like someone stated (as far as I can remember someone said that), then maybe an earlier opening date?

They normally open at the end of March.

^Yes they normally do. But Next season may be different. I mean, a new entrance, new coaster, new food. They may open earlier or later. Depending on when all of the construction, Fury and all, is done.
We'll know more come January 17 during the Winter Warm-up.

EDIT:
Hey guys check this out... TPR called Julie. A lot of info (you may already know this info) but it's still a good listen-to...
