I plan to open it up a little more fully before I do it (obviously), so I will look and see how many separator walls there are. Either way, I was thinking it would be right before the last wall. In other words, if there are three chambers it'll be in the middle one and if there are two chambers it will be in the first one. Hopefully this will avoid stirring up too many solids in the last chamber
I ordered the 2+ cfm pump from Dr. Foster's ($120) and a disc aerator (made for waste water treatment) from Grainger ($30). All things being equal, I think this will give me a pretty good airflow and pretty good amount of fine bubbles for $150.

I envision creating a baffle similar to yours, but having the whole system mounted in a weighted 5 gallon bucket that I can lower down into the tank.

I'm not sure if pictures can be posted in this forum, but if I can I'll try to show you what I'm talking about.
