At the end of the day it's your gun to do with what you please. If your going to pass it down the family line then your personal touch with the engraving will be appreciated by your heirs. If it's something you will keep and use to the end of your days I say do what makes you happy.
I took a VH 20 ga and completely redid it. I made a straight grip from a pistol grip and completely had the gun engraved and restocked. Look up the thread Gunner's Parker to see what I mean. I couldn't be happier with it and have had no regrets.
My avatar is Gunner with his gun.
