You need to answer these questions.
  1. Will 2 inches less ground clearance be a problem?
  2. How much does the rate of climb increase and do you need it?
  3. How much slower in the cruise and can you accept that?

Then if you're still interested you need to talk to as many pilots as possible who have made the swap to MT. Preferably those that have plenty of experience with the MT prop.

You need to find out from them things like;
  1. What it's like to get the prop serviced, who can do it, what does it cost etc.
  2. What is the prop like in the rain, does the rain cause erosion?
  3. How does the prop handle stone damage?
  4. Would they do it again or would they have stayed with the original?
