I would go ahead, and read the More Complete Chondro, and keep a GTP in a easy to monitor cage for a bit, so you can get used to these snakes requirements. Once you get the general gist of how to keep them, it would then be possible for you to decide if you could pull off a display style enclosure for these snakes. If you are hell bent on a display style cage I would definitely steer clear of anything younger than a well established USCBB yearling or older. I wouldn't risk stressing a neo in a naturalistic setup. Also you might want to grab a copy of Phillipe de Vasjoli's The Art of Keeping Snakes, it is all about keeping snakes in a naturalistic setup with a bioactive substrate.
If I were you I would steer clear of the exo terra cage unless you want to modify it. Also it sounds a bit like overkill on your heating ideas. Most GTP cages can be heated easily with a heat panel (Desert Rays, Pro Products, etc.) affixed to a portion of the top of the cage. However, after you read both of those books you will be armed with more than enough knowledge to keep these snakes successfully.
