Unless you have nothing better to do I would not waste my time. I heard from another member that the stock GT blocks are not as strong as the 5.0 blocks. Not to mention all the accessories seem to cost more for the 4.6 market than the 5.0 market.
Just my 2 cents but the 5.0 router is far simpler and is going to be cheaper on the pocket.

Stock 4.6 GT blocks have been known to handle over 1500+HP, they dont split like a 5.0 block. But yet, the headache of swapping it over might not be worth the trouble unless you have dont have something better to do.
