I've been using the solar system simulator of late and I can say that this orbit will be far better for icy moon imaging that the last one.

Dione: C/A at about 564,000km. Excellent view of entire Saturn facing hemisphere with a much improved view of high northern latitudes.

Rhea: C/A at about 470,000km.

Tethys: C/A at 551,000km.

Mimas: C/A at about 315,000km.

Wow, check this one out: Enceladus and one of the irregulars and apparently the F ring.
Also, there's a nice Rhea high phase set on the ground, including some subtle saturnshine.
