you are on the right track and should add one detail to facilitate synoptic
analysis:

the prominence structure, word order and idiom in luk 7 .2-3 are very greek
and show lucan stylizing.
luke has a very mixed style, turned on-again off-again throughout the
gospel and to a lesser degree the first half of Acts. [incidently, the
style changes do not match jewish versus greek subject matter, though that
would fit here.]
