Default Swage vs. Mech fitting

Greetings to all. I'm replacing chainplates & turnbuckles, present wire evidences no obvious deterioration, but is shorter than desireable. I plan to add a Sta-lok long-eye fitting to correct length.

Presently, the lower four shrouds have swaged fittings on top and sta-loks on bottom. I plan to flip the wire, end for end, replace the swages with new long-eye fittings.

Result would be existing sta-loks now at top of wire & new long-eye sta-lok on bottom.

Thanks for any insights as to issues regarding flipping wire, or swages on top vs sta-loks on top.
