  I think the Death Star is the wrong shape to really resonate with the Lensmen series aesthetic.  Doc's Skylark series, OTOH....  

  (The "Skylark of Valeron," IIRC, carried the previous (2nd-previous?) model in a hangar bay in case it were ever needed for... well... some secondary task.  And when you consider said "lesser version" was once used to destroy a galaxy-dominating fleet simply by ramming them all at Ludicrous Speed...  The Trope about fiction writers having no sense of scale could use Doc as its poster child, except that Doc quite possibly did have a sense of scale -- he simply treated it like the laws of physics -- a minor obstacle to be walked all over using Rule of Cool boots)
