It really really wouldn't.
SMF mods are really really naff, basically its just a lame patching system, with added XML to screw with you. And there patching engine sucks balls.
After a few patches you have to start doing it all by hand, and they have the tendency to break everything, and god forbid you should want to upgrade the board.
As you'd end up installing it by hand anyway, may as well do it all by hand so its easier to fix later.
