Dragon Masters, Last Castle, and Moon Moth can be included without pushing out stories such as The Miracle Workers and Morreion and others which have appeared only once before in a Vance collection, now long out of print, and sometimes in a theme anthology back in the 1970s. You will be offering enough stories that most will be new to average readers. There are a lot of readers out there who haven't been following Vance since 1960 -- they've only recently discovered SF and its all new to them. For some, discovering Vance for the first time will be a real treat. Fortunately, you’ve got a pretty hefty word count.
