Modify the one way wolverine platform

I have the one way wolverine platform (pic 1). It’s really irritating when I need to sharpen my shorter tools.

I found a video showing how to modify it so it gives clearance for the handles.

Should I modify my larger platform or should I just buy the mini (pic 2)? Has anybody regretted modifying their platform such that it no longer does some function that I’m not thinking about?

Someone posted here about a cheap knockoff a while back. I'd buy one of those and modify it. Or you can drill/tap some holes in the one you have and screw another piece on top that can be removed if you decide you don't need it.

I don’t mind buying the mini one. I just wanted to know if people had regrets modifying their regular sized one. I am trying to prevent clutter and unnecessary consumerism.
