My PMC building days are pretty much over, but if I were tackling a new project, I'd be doing everything possible to cut mass out of the model. Most PMC builders push the thrust to weight ratio on these birds pretty close to the minimum, and if there's any wind at all, the flight goes south pretty quickly.
My $0.02. WMMV.
