Good point. My only advice is to be perfectly clear on what you're trying to accomplish by cutting the blank. Many guys I've known have cut blanks to change the action of a blank without really understanding what the outcome would be. Cutting the butt is no big deal as you can add a piece of butt section back on if it’s not quite what you want. Once you cut a tip back, you own it.
I've actually done the same thing you're describing a number of times. In fact, I cut 2" off the butt of my 1205 recently and am very happy with the added room.
