With a bunch of moons and rocky planets to terraform and asteroids and KBOs to tent or hollow out and spin, why waste the resources available on the gas giants just to get at the cores? Even their high gravities can be used for energy (propulsion or deceleration). Move Mercury into orbit around Venus, move them to L3, spin them and fix their atmospheres if you're looking for a good weekend project.
