What!!!! it always matters!! Finish the model first get it looking right. What happens if you decide to adjust the mesh? you will have to redo uvs, correct stretching and so forth....this means theres a chance of having to redo the texture....besides looking at the model theres a whole load of stuff that needs correcting, but thats really not the point of this thread right now.
everything that isnt corrected and sorted in the primary stages will have a knock on effect later on, and will become a pain in the ass
I know there are a few of us here that work in games or vfx and I can tell you a change down the pipeline can have serious issues to someone along the line....just ask them too, this isnt just my snippet of experience talking...its the truth
Dont be complacent....you have asked for advice from people on this forum so either learn from it and take bits of advice, or just get on with it...
sorry if this sounds harsh - Im just giving you the facts and not glazing you with the AWSOME, KEEP GOING, GREAT START and NICE JOB comments

yes well sorry i guess i was quite unclear, i know a model has to be 100% finished before i can go any further with it, because, as you said a change in the model once you are done with it because it'll be horrible to have to change the UVs and all the texture channels. but since this topic is about the SSS channels, i was pointing out that having a done model doesn't stop me from planning how my SSS channels should be looking like. I'm not planning on texturing it with the diffuse and SSS at this moment, right now im just PLANNING. thats when a finished model doesnt matter, i could be experimenting with the SSS colors on a sphere, what im after right now is getting a thought of how to achieve correct color for this model once im done with the diffuse/displacement and all that
and yes im very thankful for all the tips and critics, i wouldnt be making theese models (roughly) correct if it werent for all the great critisism i get from you guys. im just a little confused because on this topic ive had alot of diffrent answers to questions im not asking for...
