I prefer the removal as the exposed side rail is only about 1200mm long and starts at a line level with a vertical line down from the rear of the side vents. Leastwise on an RMC.
Assuming the chassis is flat black the eye is not drawn to the rail. The body does not look as deep and to my eye, gives a slightly better proportion.
EDIT: the exposed side rail on an RMC is only about 25mm below the body.

As technically brilliant as that all sounds, I thought the opening poster wanted to incorporate it in his DRB re-build. Any thoughts on that?
