Europa-List: Old / new tailwheel

Hello everybody

My Europa Classic, finished one year ago, has still the original tailwheel.
After 30 hours test flights I am thinking about replacing the old 
tailwheel with the XS type.
But I cant find any problems with steering for example. My question to 
somebody with experience
on both types of wheels: "Is it worth the great effort for this 
modification?"
But there is an other problem with big bouncing on uneven grass runways. 
A very strong rebound
is resulting in strong bouncing with force me for a go around mostly.
There is the red rubber block and old shock absorber. Does somebody have 
got any
experience and a solution about this problem.
I think this is not in connection with the classic tail wheel?
