You should be loving the beard! It's coming along quite well! Again, don't sweat the swirls, when it gets long enough, they will lay down more and become more manageable. As to the neckline, yup ... that's a personal preference. If you are going big, then let it go now. And, yes, you can grow a good long/big beard if you want one ... you have plenty of coverage. Good update, man!
