The action will never be the same again, and what you currently like can't be recaptured once it's changed. Consider carefully letting someone alter what you already like. Properly reshaping hammers to obtain a voicing change will not affect the action dynamics any significant degree. However, it will affect how you perceive these dynamics to be due to the difference in the voicing change reshaping brings about. A little reshaping and voicing done by the right person can produce remarkable changes with hammers that still have some life in them.
