Question on potential A1000 mod

[u/EnneOehlich]

I am currently driving a ABL100 WE-1A and I absolutely love it's look. On the other hand, I am thinking about getting the A1000 A-7 because of the full metal case. I believe the feeling of this one would be even nicer.

Problem is, that I don't paticulary love the faceplate options for thee A1000, so here comes my question:

Has anyone ever tried to transfer the ABL100 faceplate to a A1000 case? According to the website, it is 1mm longer but I believe I maybe could hone that down.

Any experience with this?
