Steve, I would let it acclimate to its new home before I would consider defoliation. I recently recieved 2 new ficus and right now, several weeks later, they are just in recovery mode, no work will be done until they show signs of vigorus new growth.
So put it someplace sheltered from the winds and sunny, feed it well, and pay attention to its watering needs and watch it explode with new growth. Then you can start thinking about style and the work it will need.
