John, I, personally, keep both sizes. In a pinch, to replace a broken string or two, you could probably get by with it. However, over the entire piano, as in restringing, I believe it would make a significant difference in overall tension and sound unless you rescaled to compensate for it. JMHO, with what little knowledge I have about it.
