On your way back from Ollantaytambo to Cuzco (after MP), hire a taxi and ask the driver to stop at Chinchero, Moray and Maras (it's on the way), different route than Pisac however.
Only problem with that is there is no train from Urubamba to Agua Caliente on the morning of 9/10. Perurail refers to "Ollanta" as Sacred Valley, is that the station in Ollantaytambo? How long does it take to get from Pisac to "Ollanta"?
The reason for staying in Pisac, per your suggestion, and not Ollantaytambo is because we'll have luggage. I can't imagine carrying luggage through Pisac, Urubamba, and then to Ollantaytambo.
I guess the easiest thing to do is follow the intinerary in my previous post. We'll arrive and explore Ollantaytambo on Sat 9/8 and take a day trip from Ollantaytambo to Urubamba and Pisac on Sun 9/9. That way I don't have to worry about the luggage and getting from Pisac to Ollantaytambo in the morning to catch the train to Agua Caliente.
