Difference between Tweed and Bf deluxe PT's

BD	Difference between Tweed and Bf deluxe PT's I was looking at all the Pt's available for 6V6 deluxe type amps and wonder why some places say you can use their PT's for a BF and a Tweed. I know they are different. Mercury Magnetic's makes a lot of different one's for both and it was explained why by them. But for those who know, what sonic differences would you have if you replaced a BFDR tranny with a tweed design? If any....that is if the voltages are the same. I have owned almost every deluxe fender made and the tranny's are all different even from the same year.
