Any issues using RF Mica caps as coupling caps in Marshall?

I was wondering if there would be any undesirable or desirable issues/effects if a RF Mica cap was used as a V1a coupling cap in a Marshall circuit instead of the usual Polyester Film or Polypropylene Film caps ie mustards or orange drop caps.

In my experiences it seems that Silver Mica caps tend to be smoother sounding versus Ceramic Caps when used as Cathode Bypass caps.

Do it and report back. Tone is subjective...
 
Yeah that's probably gonna be a case of experimentation. Just thought I would pose the question and see what I got...
