Upgrading SL1000 tweeters

Hi all,

I've been enjoying the heck out of my Monitor 10s after having Westmassguy rebuild the crossovers (thanks again, David!) and performing all the upgrades he recommended. So much so that I'm now planning to do the same with a pair of Monitor 7s.

The 7s have SL1000 tweeters, which I know should be upgraded. The question is, with what? If I understand correctly, the SL1000 tweeter is the same size as the original Peerless tweeter but electrically the same as the SL2000/RDO-194.

After reading through numerous threads here, it seems that if I want to go with the RDO-194 (or RDO-198, as I did with the 10s) I'll need to alter the mounting hole in the baffle. Is there any reason not to use Peerless tweets instead, if I can find a working pair?

I know this has probably been done to death already but I have found a lot of conflicting information and wanted to see if the Polk brain trust could give me a definitive answer.

Many thanks,
Michael
