I hear ya cluckin' red rooster...
I've taken a few "body blows" myself, on some of my more ummmmmmm...
"outside the box" mods, but that's OK, I'm never gonna do mods to please others, only myself.
Opinions (especially mine ) are worth about what was paid, prolly less...
However, THAT being said, when any of us asks for others to opine on mods...brace yourself...
And then do it YOUR WAY!
