Change Oil Pan Baffle - Good Idea or Not?

No clue whether the design differences are good, bad or a wash but a friend of mine has been running the FVD in HPDE for several seasons with no problems (in a 996). The FVD was a perfect fit out of the box.

Like others on this thread I had to make minor mods to the upper and rubber edges of the EBS to make it fit to my satisfaction. Additionally I was glad to eliminate the double row of flange sealant. I applied the SI5900 using a regular caulk gun with no problems.

With this mod, how is the oil level checked? Does the same oil dip stick work for accurate measurement? How about the digital gauge on the instrument panel?
