Hi Jim,
          I think you have answered you own question, if you are frequently
voicing this piano for this type of professional, it will save a great deal
of time long term to add some dag screws. I have done this quite often on
performance pianos. 
It's only 1/2 hrs work, to drill two pilot hole and countersink them, order
the screws from Yamaha they have a nice domed type of profile for minimum
friction. Polish the heads on a buffing wheel before fitting.
