What would be the expected results of putting a 414 TLII capsule in a 414 EB body?

I have a 414 EB with an all original brass capsule, an EB with a nylon capsule and a 414 TLII.

The nylon capsule EB doesn't do anything for me, but the TLII sounds surprisingly nice. It has a similar tonality to my brass capsule EB, but it's a little more forward sounding in the mids and low mids and not as open sounding as the brass capsule.

Since I have no real use for my nylon capsule EB, I was thinking of putting a TLII capsule in it.

What would the EB circuitry do for the sound of the TLII capsule?

The TL II circuit is transformless and the EB circuits still have a transformer.
What do you hope to achieve? Some saturation.Maybe a darker character in the treble area
