I know a guy who did just than on the NB once, but with DICE using the cardboard cylinder from a roll of toilet paper.
If I still had my F1 I wouldn't hesitate to drill some more holes in it. Only downside would be the loss of mass. Some people say threaded holes are bad because bubbles get trapped in the threads. I say that's hogwash. LN2 ain't water - that bubble's gonna be very transient.
Vince likes a LOT of mass for temp stability and infrequent pours - that's super awesome for wprime 1024 and pi32. I don't like that much mass because you pay for it with a less responsive pot.
I've got minimal experience next to the big boys, but pot design seems to come down to finding a balance between mass and surface area while working with socket space restrictions. That "balance" leaves a lot of room for personal preference.
