EPO: ISA, SISA oder IPEA

Hello,
The 6-month period is ending soon and I would first like to only issue an opinion in response to the Rule 161(1) communication, in which I try to refute the citations of the international search with arguments. Only in the event that I cannot convince the examiners would I like the possibility of restricting the claims, if necessary with a patent attorney. Is this way of proceeding possible? Or will I have any disadvantages?
Why I write about possible disadvantages results from:

Especially paragraph 5.4.014 After the six-month period has expired, the options for changing the registration are limited...
