I can totally understand your point of view and recognize that it makes perfect sense. This is especially true with the shot cups of the last couple decades. I have however one point that I've learned from experience... a little choke such as .002" constriction can make the difference on a potential sale should you ever decide to replace it. I've had many English boxlock's that withered on the vine at cylinder while others with just 1 or 2 thousandth's were viewed as a big plus (sometimes common-sense is overruled!). Since it's yours then go at it as you wish but at least recognize the downstream impact. Good shooting....
