This sort of difference would show up in go-to pointing accuracy, tracking errors that come down to flex and difficulty in achieving a perfect polar alignment.

Reading the Paramount MX manual about this point makes it clear you want all scopes to be totally rigid and no flex in order to achieve the highest go-to and tracking accuracies.

My CDK 17 has a dovetail plate twice the size of a regular Losmandy plate and it needs it. Its correct engineering. You want things way overstrong.
