I'm trying to get a handle on the work involved in taking out a standard 90mm cornice and reworking the join to either squareset or something like shadowline. (I'm trying to go for a more modern look!)

Is this a viable idea, or would the amount of fiddly work involved in making good the area typically hidden by the cornice be getting close to a "it'd be less hassle to resheet the walls" benchmark?
