Reinsulating From The Inside...

A client of mine has a 1960s brick home standard crawlspace foundation. The client wants to insulate the home from the inside, she has no problem gutting the rooms with exterior walls. Insulating from the outside isn't an option, she doesn't want to disturb the brick. She wants some sound proofing but nothing expensive or major, just basically better than the old R11 fiberglass she has currently. Her main focus is insulation value, they want as much R-value as possible without the expense of spray foam. My current thoughts and proposals to her are as follows... OPTION 1 - Insulate using denim R-15 batts followed by foil-faced polyiso 1.5 thick, then drywall. OPTION 2 - Rip 2x4s in half, fasten to existing studs creating a deeper bay so that R-19 denim batts can be installed, followed by 1 political then drywall. What do you guys think? Better options? Am I on the right track?
