I think that the concern (on towertalk) is that guying adds compression to
the tower legs. All of the self supporting towers that I have seen have
stronger legs than equivalent guyed towers, at least towards the bottom.
While I would also recommend following the manufacture's design and I am
not an engineer, I do not see how adding guys especially toward the bottom
of a tower can make it weaker.

It is the weaker legs near the top that are the problem,
the severity of which depends on how much the tower tapers.
