XF 2.0 Before I waste my time

I am looking at having a custom modification made, which I have gotten a couple of quotes for but am now wondering if this is something that can be achieved without modification.

What does everyone think?

I want to display threads in a specific node with the ability to reply to each individual post. Only the thread author can create actual replies, everything else is a comment.

What I was thinking is:

Conditional to detect the node and show either standard thread view template or custom one.

If in the blog node:

Conditional to hide the reply buttom from everyone one other than the author.
Conditional to show only the "quote" button to everybody else.
Quotes could then be formatted to be displayed within the relevant post, ie if quoted post id = post id then show with that post. (IS this possible with a conditional?).
Using css we could scroll the comments so they don't make the page mega long, but i'm not expecting major comment useage anyway so not a massive issue.

Is this something people think would be possible before I waste my time trying to figure out how to approach it? :)
