Just so happens Tori Amos Flavor was on the cable station while I was testing the mid. I could hear the piano, and even a harp clearly on the factory mid while the Hertz mid was not clear and distinct.

I'm replacing the head unit and adding an amp so I should be able to soften the brightness of the tweeters between the EQ in the HU, and the settings on the crossover.

Thanks again for your input.
I did the same thing................. kept thinking (from memory) the stock aluminum mids sounded better, so I A/B ed them while I had the door panels off doing some sound deadening and ended up putting them back in the system.
