He's already using Ditra, so there is no advantage to using a CBU.
I'd go existing 1/2", another 1/2", heating wire, ditra, tiles with the appropriate thinsets between all the layers of the sandwich. You'd be up ~1/4" at the threshold of the bathroom, but it's not uncommon to have some type of a transition there anyways so I don't think it will be a stumbling point or look wrong.
Fair enough, I'm no expert.
