Just what do you think the expert is going to do? He apparently has no special knowledge, or he wouldn't need both flywheels.
You are not risking life or limb here, only risking r&r'ing the flywheel.
I'd fersure take that risk over dropping $220 for a couple holes- holes that don't even go all the way through!
In fact, I would probably not install the tranny until I ran up the engine, and try Dynamically Balancing it,after my calculations and drilling. Try one bolt in a pressure plate bolt hole. Try it in all six places, one at a time. Find the best place by feeling the vibes on the bell housing while revving the engine. Add another bolt adjacent and try again. Maybe add nuts to the bolt(s). Get the best location, best amount, then drill some opposite. Trail and error, but the best balance there is. Free. And no waiting for shipping and backlog.
