Why even begin with a Dyson Sphere? Niven's Ringworld is much better. Sure scrith is a "hand waved" material that requires nuclear forces to be occurring constantly within it. But that's a minor detail to overcome when you are on a ring 95 million miles away from the sun, nearly a million miles laterally, and only 100 feet thick!
