Tell them "it's designed how it's designed, if you can improve the design by adding on to what's there without going over size or weight limits, go right ahead, but no subtraction." By the way, if you have a hopper in the design already (or even a lot of empty space) you shouldn't need to add more space. Hoppers that expand out are not necessary this year. (I just hope I don't eat that last sentence.)
