Yup I understand and am sometimes swayed by purism.
If a small modification is easily reversible, tasteful and is something one could see the makers or users of the day then adding it can't hurt.
I can even understand significant modification if a set is common, cheap or was a bad enough example that your not loosing anything hacking it up.
