I know it's not recomended, but guys at our club have had interesting results by mixing crystals and receivers around. There seems to be no set rules, but by trial-and-error we have been able to extend the range of receivers quite significantly just by trying different crystals.
So I would go ahead and experiment, if it is better than the original then stick with it. Although I always do my range and other tests at the field with other flyers around so that if there's any interference related issues you'll pick them up.
