X-50 Journeyman with 80mm Spindle

Its advertised the longer X-50 is sturdier or more rigid then the shorter original woodworker machine with stiffy.
Will the longer rods be sturdy anough for a bigger heavier 80mm spindle? How will it react to hanging and working the heavier weight? Yes, im a newby that hasn’t received my machine. Upgrading the machine to bigger, better, faster, stronger, smarter will always peak my interest, but unnecessary or damaging my mod in the Pursuit of a better machine will be heartbreaking.

Any expert opinions?
