Should any changes that ruin a Doubles fine lines be taboo or is better shootability something to strive for?

Shootability is the primary concern for me regarding double rifles.
I really don't want to lose any of the doubles fine handling qualities but I can definately put "looks" lower on the list than the most important issues of useability, shootability and service-ability and reliability.
But then I am not a double rifle researcher or collector, but rather a double rifle shooter and hunter.
My doubles are for the hunting field not for the gunroom or shooting range.
