The main advantage come from adjusting the worm wheel, as described at deepsky.de, not from the higher quality of the new wheel it self.

If the error of the RA wheel is to bad just swap it with the one in DEC

I am guessing you are right... I think I managed to almost half the problem by careful mesh adjustment.
Nice and smooth PE introduced by worm-wheel stage is not really the problem, it can be straighten up by autoguiding..
The real problem is "noise" in gears.. 47 teeth transfer gears in particular.. +- 2~3 arcsec..
