Which to mod?

Just picked up a pair of CRS+'s (only one tweeter). Both of the speakers have the 6510 & 6511 drivers in them, with the original SL2000 tweeter. I also have a pair of LSi25's. Here's what I'm wondering: which would you mod first? I know the LSi's are supposed to be phenomenal when the crossover components are replaced, but I'm intrigued about using the new RDO's in these CRS+ (which are incredible, btw). Any other thoughts, suggestions?

    The CRS's would be much easier to mod.

    I'd mod the SDA's also as they are a much older speaker.

    The SDA's components are older and worn out...and probably in need of replacement. The LSi's components are essentially brand new and in perfect working order.

    Knowing this, I'd suggest modding the SDA's first.
    The nirvana inducer-
    APC H10 Power Conditioner
    Marantz UD5005 universal player
    Parasound Halo P5 preamp
    Parasound HCA-1200II power amp
    PolkAudio LSi9's/PolkAudio SDA 2A's/PolkAudio Monitor 7A's
    Audioquest Speaker Cables and IC's

    SDA's first. LSI's are not for the novice.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    So it seems like the best advice is for the CRS's. One last question: Which tweeter would I be replacing the SL2000 with? The SL300 or one of the RDO's? Again, thanks for the advice
