Would this mic capsule change be unnecessary?

Hi y'all,
I am using a tube (rolled the tube to a much better one as I wrote in another posting) condenser , an MXL V69 ME, and it sound pretty detailed, articulate and appears to fit my voice. It may be just a tad bright and I am striving to tame the highs by using the "de-esser" of the MDX2600 compressor.
Now, I read that replacing the stock mic capsule with an RK47 may help bring the highs under better control. HOWEVER, since my transmit bandwidth is constrained to 3-4kHz, max, I am wondering whether buying the RK47 would do ANYTHING at all for this application since, the highs are so far outside my max TX bandwidth?
Yes, I realize there is the issue of RF and AF bandwidth to consider as these are not at all the same issue and the fact that (OR, perhaps I need to focus more time on getting my audio EQ in an even more balanced way!) I perceive of the audio to be a smidgen too pitched to the highs would just reinforce the distinction between the two bandwidths!
Sure would appreciate common sense responses from you to help get some clarity
Cheers!!
