The lighter your hair is, the more the colour will be sucked up! In your situation, by dying it ANY colour, you'll get quite a radical vibrancy. So I don't even think you'd need to go red first, if you used black straight up, I'm pretty sure black is what you'd get. But I would be 100% sure of this, as like you say, it's easier to darken your hair than lighten it.
Also with a blonde base, some colours start to fade and it has been known that the blonde hair will start to peak through after so long. Plus consider regrowth!
I am currently a light golden blonde (level 9 if you know levels), naturally a dirty ash blonde (level 7). I lighten my long, fine hair with hi-lift blonde and have damage control down to a pretty workable situation. (been doing this awhile)
I am considering making a drastic change to black. I know this would be a 2-step process that would involve depositing red, then later black into my hair. I'd like to use a temporary (ammonia-free) color to try this look out BUT I am hesitant to do so if I can't go running back to my almost-platinum locks if the black is too much and it turns out blondes really do have more fun :)
I am assuming that, even without ammonia, my hair is SO light and SO porous that it will soak up these reds and browns permanently and put me in a situation where i need bleach to get them out. Anyone know anything about this?
