It's been a while since I've posted to this forum as a combination of work and my new amplifiers has taken up my time but I'm seeking advice on which which of the options below will give me the best results.
I have recently bought a stripped down pair of 4502 cabinets complete with components in wonderful condition: 2440 2311 LX5 N700 O75 and non JBL bass drivers (found these via Lancing Product Marketplace incorrectly sold as 4325's and the only cost £180 / $350).

I now have a number of choices as to what to do:
1) Improve my L200's which have cabinets in absolutely mint condition with the 2440/2311's, a spare pair of 2225's which have 2235 cones, O75 or O77 and build a charge coupled 4333 type crossover but with a 500Hz bass mid xover point. I could then use the 2420's and horns together with a spare pair of 2215's to rebuild the 4502's into 3 way S7's. These would then match the 4505 cabinet I have. ( there is currently a French ebay auction where there is a pair of L200's modded to this spec). http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300213075816&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=020
2) Drop the 2440/2311 straight into my 4333's and put the 2420/H93 into the 4502's, but I'm not shure if the long horn will fit. I do have one spare 2307 though so I may be able to get another and use short horns.
3) Rebuild the 4502's as original (S8 system), filling the dings on the cabinets, re-spraying in grey and using my spare 2215's. This route is the easiest but would still leave the L200's original but with all their inherent faults.
