I agree with your analysis, from the initial rocket concepts the delta-v does look lacking. One note however, I think you may be confusing your kilometers with miles - one needs around 7.8km/s for a stable LEO.

Not the OP you're replying to but you're right! I'll try to get more information on this and update once I do. Thanks!
