I am not sure what you are asking. Input on what ??? Looks like a reasonable but busy schedule. The decision to train or fly may be a personal preference. If the train ride is more than six hours, we consider flying. Without looks at schedules I don't know if you have equal options on your fly or train. Sometimes a train schedule is more convenient even if longer than flying. We would knock a day or two off of Tuscany/Florence and add it to Rome but that is because we really like Rome.

I guess my main question is the overnight train from Vienna to Venice. Sleeper compartments are $200 for the both of us, and a regular seat is running about $60. Is the extra $140 worth it?

Vienna to Venice - I would recommend a daytime train. The scenery is quite spectacular. I know it takes timne, but at least oart of your visit must be to see scenery.
