Swapping Paradigm studio 100 tweeter to Beryllium

I own paradigm studio 100 v5 for a couple of years, and wondered whether it is possible to swap the original G-Pal tweeter with the signature P-Be Beryllium tweeter.

Tweeter sizes apear to be the same.

I read only about one person who actually performed this swap, which, according to his testimony, made wonders to the speaker. Since he was banned from that forum, a complete feedback could not be achieved..

Due to the signature overpricing, I'm considering this option.

I would love to have feedback whether anyone else performed this swap, and their feedback: compatebility, final performance, P-Be pricing, crossover issues..

Thanks in advance for your responses!

   I thought the used Avalon Acoustics Eidolons that replaced my Studio 100s were overpriced. With a pair of S8s on hand for audition, within the the first few minutes my family insisted on keeping the Eidolons.
   After living with three iterations of Paradigm I would always hear each individual driver doing its job. In a brief listen with Audio Research fed Persona flagship it was the same thing made worse by their onboard powered subwoofers which were improperly located for that room.
   I can't hear the individual Eidolon drivers unless I put my ear right up next to them. What do they call that?
