Mixing and matching SIDs?

If you want it to be dual-mono, I think it is not a problem and soundwise you even have more 'options'. But in stereo mode I would prefer the two SID's to sound as close as possible.
Addition: If you are going to put in a 8580, be sure not to only switch the capacitors, but als make sure you r
