That sounds very sensible, in terms of improvement-per-time-invested. In 
other words, it'll get you the mostest the soonest.

I don't know your level of experience, but something else you might consider: 
if you're near a really experienced rebuilder, hire him/her for a 
consultation. If you are a talented hobbyist or less-experienced piano technician, this 
can be especially valuable. In an hour or so, he/she should be able to give you 
an overall assessment of the condition, as well as the relative importance of 
the subsystems. It's difficult (and necessarily incomplete) for us to offer 
advice on things like bridge pins in isolation from the condition of the rest 
of the piano. An experienced rebuilder can help with a road map, as well as a 
feeling for the overall quality of the instrument (and therefore what might be 
fiscally as well as musically appropriate repairs). 

Good luck,
