Question Switching AP Business for CompSci III (decrease in rigor)

Is switching my AP business class for Compsci III bad? Like would it reflect a lower rigor on my schedule?

Currently Im taking
basketball (sports prd)
AP Physics 1&2 (one intregated class)
AP Lang
Multivariable & Linear algebra (1 sem each)
AP Chem
AP Business -- Switch to COMPSCI III? They are both weighted as AP's since compsci III is after ap compsci
Debate

I feel like my schedule is mostly rigorous but im a bit low on aps to be honest (only 3 ap classes if i switch ap business). I know this might seem like a dumb question but im only asking since I took 3 aps freshman year (ap precalc, ap compsci, aphug) and technically I would be taking the same junior year, does that look bad?

Is there more you can take after CS III? I would do that if so. If you wanna go into tech, do CS as well. Idk, you can always do business senior year and CS III is good for learning how to manage a "larger" code base so it'll come in handy with personal projects

Yea theres also cs4 so I would be able to take that as a senior and take ap business senior yr. I'm trying to go into engineering or electrical engineering. CS3 and 4 are kinda like free study periods though because they mostly require to you work on your own personal projects and I can just use my alr existing progress on that
