I would ask them to re-enforce it with better euro bracing.. thats what you paid for isn't it??? seams like adding a cros brace defeats the purpose of having euro bracing.

I am going to go with whatever they recommend. If I can get away without it all the better. However, safety is my first concern

true, I was just getting at some times euro bracing makes a tank way more expensive, if they put a center brace in it you now don't have a euro braced tank and if you bought that in the first place you probably could have saved 2 or 3 hundred..

but yes safe is the way to go.
