Absolutely. Increases rigidity with minimal mass increase.
FYI Losmandy used to call the non-structural parts of his EQ mounts "dead metal" they only added to the system mass, but did nothing to increase its rigidity.
His later model mounts had significant internal machining that removed that
useless metal and make the mount lighter but just as rigid.
