You stated two reasons for wanting to use this type of design: 1) you just like it, and 2) you feel that it's stronger. Well, no one can argue with the first point. That's your choice. But I urge you to not consider the second option too seriously. Stronger for strong's sake does not add value. You only need it so strong. Sure you can always make something stronger, but it is worth it? Do you get value for the effort/cost? Likely not. It's needs to be strong enough, and it's obviously quite easy to make a standard orientation tower "strong enough."

Personally, there are precious few forward facing towers that I like, but none of them fit the lines and style of an older boat. Supra or otherwise.
