I did this to mine and it doesn't seem to weaken the tower at all.

I've been running without an issue for about six months.

The carbon tower also has different shock mount holes than the plastic. The current carbon tower is older (a hold over from the b4.0) than the current plastic tower. The current plastic tower has a hole further in on the tower than the carbon. The outside 2 holes on the plastic tower match the inner 2 holes on the carbon tower. Most folks prefer the inner hole on the plastic tower, but that is a personal tuning option. It is possible to drill a new hole on the inside of the carbon tower to match the plastic tower. This would give you the same tuning options as the plastic tower plus an extra hole on the outside.
