Help choosing upgrades for Def Tech 2002 crossover

Looking to see if I can eek a bit more out of my BP 2002 without spending a ton. I have like 78 bucks into them as of now and they are working just fine, however I'm hoping for a couple bucks I can replace the existing crossover parts with something better.
Not looking to go nuts but honestly not sure what these parts should cost. Below is a table with all the parts as well as pictures of the crossover.
Note: due to glue on the part I'm 100% positive I have a 6.8, just not sure if its uF or something else (yes I'm very much a crossover virgin here)

Clarity cap px and Jantzen superes resistors, should be under a hundred in parts and be a dramatic improvement- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Be gentle but which ones are the resistors… The white ones?"....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted." William Bruce Cameron, Informal Sociology: A Casual Introduction to Sociological Thinking (1963) -

I would just use an 8.2ufand 2 x 100uf mundorf electrolytic bypassed by the px .47uf- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

- 6.8uF 5.67 x 2): https://www.hificollective.co.uk/catalog/6-8uf-250v-claritycap-px-range-polypropylene.html
- 200uF - part 1 of 2 (17.74 x 4): https://www.hificollective.co.uk/catalog/mlal4502040-100uf100uf-450v-mlytic-axial-lead-type-p-2672.html

- 8uF (5.72 x 2): https://www.hificollective.co.uk/catalog/8-2uf-250v-claritycap-px-range-polypropylene.html
Grand total is 220.48 or 110.24 for each crossover. That would bring the entire investment cost up to ~300 bucks for both speakers."....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted."

Thanks Trey. That is a HUGE different in price lol (all 4 of those for the cost of just ONE of the others).

Grand total is 169.54 or 84.77 for each crossover, which would make my total my investment cost ~250 which I think is still a pretty darn good deal for them."....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted."

Yep!- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

My only concern (still being the cheapskate that I am)..... do I:
- Upgrade these (when I may be selling them and may not get as high a profit margin on them with upgrades v without)
- Wait till I find whatever replaces these (which could be a different vintage Def Tech) and upgrade those....
- Upgrade these for now, sell them for what I can, then upgrade whatever might replace them if needed
I will prob go with option 3..... Either way I gotta wait a bit to order the parts on these, so I have some time to think..."....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted."

The 2002tl is a pretty good speaker, to be all in 250 is pretty low risk- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Ah, eh still not a bad all in cost. I don't think you would lose any money selling as long as the mods turn out good- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.
