I do. While the main differences are that the Fs has shifted slightly due to the different chamber and the altered chamber damping; This likely leads to a more 'open' sounding tweeter than one off the shelf in my opinion. However, this is a theory yet to be tested. The fact that the HD has been reduced in this particular pair of RST28F is also not relatable to the measured HD performance of other unmodified stock because I did not do their measurements with my gear in my setup.
My stance about the sound is that the RST28F/A sound a little congested in the builds I've heard that used them compared to a lot of other tweeters I've experienced. This is not a major hindrance in their sound to most people. However, I feel the damping swap in the pole piece from foam plug to a cotton ball has made the difference and I am really liking the current sound of this speaker.

Took smoothed polars of the final. There is minimal bunching from 2k-4.5k of only a couple dB.

So you think a standard issue RST28F would still work?
