Eos 20D to 20Da ... Possible?

Hi all,

I have with me, garyh's (and then pmrid's) modded 20D.

It seems to be running very nicely, and for daytime photography, it is really very good. I have set the custom white balance, and it takes excellent terrestrial images, usually of my dog barking at me, for pointing it at him.

Anyway, I was Googling around last night for a couple of hours, and came across a few discussions about possibly activating Live View on the 20D, using the 20Da's firmware.

To me it seems a little simplistic to think that Canon would not have foreseen such an easy workaround, but then again ...

My multi-part question - apart from the IR filter, are there any major hardware differences between the 20D and the 20Da, and is it feasible to theorise that a firmware update using the 20Da software won't brick the 20D? Has anyone tried it, or seen it done?
