Once I got a Fusion drive iMac of course I just install on the Fusion Drive and use the TB external SSD for temp files and raw cache for PS & LR.
I was told that, when I asked Apple, I could not tell the computer which drive to install an app on. So can you tell me how you did it? Thanks.

On a dedicated SSD, you can install, or move apps, but on a FusionDrive you can’t, the OS determines what goes on the SSD portion based on use.
The actual OS files I believe always resides on the SSD portion, so the bigger the SSD part of the Fusion drive the better
Finder shows a Fusion drive as one logical drive, so there is no drive split, but physically it is just two drives merged together
Thanks for the reply Don, I thought as much.
On the recommendation of my local camera club, Ventura County Camera Club, I signed up ($10/mo). The downloads were seemless and with the subscription you get constant updates and tips. Seems to be working out fine! I'm a happy snapper ;-) Dick
