Idk if this is the right place to post this, if not tell me where I should

I have an rs3m v5 ball core, the issue is that is is not good, it have a bunch of stress marks, and one of the corner piece tiles has a chunk taken out of it, now my plan is to buy an rs3m 2020 uv coated, since that has much better durability plastic, and then transfer the pieces to the core of the v5, (keeping maglev and the ballcore, while still having the uv coating with durable plastic),i also separately wanted to get the stickered rs3m so I could have a cube usable in the dark, (by getting new stickers) and since I am under 18 I have to rely on my dad, who is generally not too keen on spending money, and would find it redundant to get both, and I can still get the maglev and ballcore for the stickered rs3m. So 1, if any of you have tried the piece swapping, does it work? And 2, should I get the uv coasted rs3m 2020 or the stickered one?

Edit I should mention I would be paying for this with my own money
