The OP had mentioned the loss of volume and you had commented on the effect that would have, so I thought that was settled and that I had no need to repeat the comment. I was trying to add something new to the discussion.

I realize that there is a limit to what computer modelling can tell you, but they do have their uses. In this case I was simply using it to confirm what I suspected about the effect on shape, drag, trim and stability.
