Brass door knobs as footers

I was just wondering what you guys think of the possibility of using brass door knobs as footers. My father in law was kind enough to construct a 2" thick oak platform for me, and decided to use the knobs rather than the footers from mapleshaderecords--they look really good. I'm sure the mass is not quite the same, but factoring in the price difference(20$ vs. 100+$) what do you think of the idea?

Those parts express footers are absolutely worthless if the adjustability factor is important to you. The only way they will sound decent is if you loctite the tip to the body of the cone. If it ever backs off at all, the sound deteriorates noticeably. These just aren't stable when you unscrew the tip.
