I would not advise this at all.  I'm really opposed to the whole idea of 
so called adjustable touchweight systems. These typically do not really 
adjust anything but static touchweight, and the resulting touch 
characteristics are really unknown quantities that havent been all that 
closely looked at yet.

Find a  BW and ratio that provide the basic touch characteristics you  
feel with best provide pianists what they are after, and execute that in 
an action rebuild, remembering that physical touchweight is inextricably 
tied to voicing concerns.
