Thinking about my Monitor 7’s

So I own two pair of Monitor 7's. A bone-stock, near perfect pair of 7b's with Peerless, and my fully modded 7c’s (194's, Dynamat, H-nuts, Sonicaps, Mills, ash veneer). Thinking I might swap my modded x-overs into the 7b's just for kicks. Trying to decide if I should redo the b's x-overs... they feel dull and lifeless to me when compared to the c's.

The only difference I can see in the schematics of the b x-over vs the c x-over is 0.01mH in the tweeter inductor (b schematic shows 0.23mH and c schematic shows 0.22mH). Should be Imperceptible, no? Is this a bad idea? I’m thinking it might just be a direct swap-and-go to compare... Thoughts?
Current Collection: Monitor 4a (Peerless), Monitor 5B (Peerless), Modified Monitor 7b (Peerless), RTA15TL (SL3000), SDA CRS+ (194’s), SDA SRS 2.3TL, R100's, R200’s, R300 🤩
Pairs that have passed through: Monitor 4b (Peerless), Monitor 5a (Peerless), Monitor 5b (SL1000), Monitor 5b (SL2000) (4x pair), Monitor 7b (Peerless), Modified Monitor 7c’s (194’s), Monitor 10a (Peerless), Monitor 10b (5x pair), RTA8, RTA8TL, RTA 11T, RTA12c (194's), SDA CRS, SDA 2 (2x pair), SDA 2a, SDA 2b, SDA 1b, SDA 1c, SDA SRS 2 (2x pair), SDA SRS 3.1TL (198’s) (2x pair)...and more to come, it’s a sickness.
