The SG will not bond properly to the NXT. IMHO, if you want to try NXT, do AIO on a panel, divide it into thirds, do 1/3 with NXT, AIO followed by SG and NXT on the second, and then SG only on the third. Over a month, you should be able to decide which way you want to go.
Never mind that NXT will remove some of the SG. Your test should tell you if any of the SG is left, since it's more durable than NXT (in all likelihood, since data on NXT is still sparce).

I tried it and love it, I dont know if is just the NXT by itself, but I had 3 coats of SG and the topped it with two coats by hand of NXT the look is so wet and after two months the car is still beading.
I think if you use the NXT by hand maybe you can remove a coat of SG, bot the shine and wetter look is well worth it
see my gallery to see the wet look of the grey audi

I did the exact same thing (just SGx2) with the same results.
With just SGx2
SGx2 topped with NXT
Compare not only the swirl filling abilities, but the reflections off the hood and the fender. The NXT made it wetter, but the reflections mudded up a bit. It's all in what you want.
Here's an after with SGx2 + NXT
Super Wet
Just for fun, here it is with SGx2, NXT, S100
I used NXT over AIO/SG on a black BMW 740 about 6 weeks after I had applied the Klasse twins and NXT deepened the color somewhat and had a wetter look. I don't know if or how much SG was removed by NXT, but I applied NXT to the 740 in late January and didn't wax it again until yesterday and it was beading nicely and the paint felt real smooth still.

I have SG on all my car and the hood only is topped with NXT x 2 and tho it adds some depth, under 1000W of halogens you can see a loss of clairity on the NXT topped hood .. its like you dropped a drop of milk in a glass of pure clear water.
Don't get me wrong .. it looks great but maybe confirms the *muddied* comment.
This is not noticable in natural light.
See Scott gets a black BMW 740 .. I get a blue Cavallier .. hrmmphhh

Scott I never noticed the clairity difference at all on the blue/silver/burgundy ones I did and it allowed the metallics to come through .. I just happened to notice it under the hallogens with the SG on the fender being 1/8" from the SG hood topped with NXT. Out of curiosity I used a little AIO on 4" of the hood next to the fender and applied SG and it was clear .. today I added NXT .. and it was visable.
Don't get me wrong .. even under the light inless I pointed it out to you you wouldn't pick up on it . ( well maybe you might but 99.9% wouldn't ) . The only reason I picked up on it is cuz I was evaluating the hood for final spring polishing .. I been using the hood as a test bed. Thus my comment about *a* drop of milk in pure water.
