Hey bob I tried it and it was harder to plane out. On bravo props wasn't worth the difference. Now on bravos that big I am not sure how big the diffuser is and some cut down might help the props spin higher rpm from decreased load. On props like the maximus it is pretty much a must. Maybe brad can chime in.

The Bravo 1 34 pitch casting is a interesting story.
Do a search back and you can learn a bunch about its history. I've written volumes on it.
Or, call me and I'll explain its backround and how it came into place in the Bravo family, its props and its cons.
