Diamond vs Aluminum tweeters for B&W 800 series

Anyone swapped their Diamond tweeter for the Aluminum?

I want to know if anyone heard both to tell us the real difference.

I have a shattered tweeter on my 803 D2 and having difficulty on buying new ones.

Diamond is rated aprox. 900usd each. Aluminum you can find around 450usd the pair.

"These are factory fresh brand new aluminum tweeters made by Bowers & Wilkins and are an exact fit to the original tweeters."
