Here, here Exit. Like both your ideas. Here's my rebuy idea:

allow players with 500 or fewer chips during the add-on period to dump those 500 chips so that they can double double rebuy and add-on, and allow those with 2000 or fewer to dump enough chips to get down to 1500 so that they can single rebuy and add-on. This is for those situations where a player had 1545 in chips and went all in on the last hand and lost and now can only get to 3545- a tremendous disadvantage.

Also, allow rebuys during the add-on period. If you're at the last table to break, and lose a hand, you can't rebuy; while players at tables that broke earlier can rebuy while waiting for the break to start.
