If you like the color of the Piezo inks better and they are not clogging,
then if money is not an issue, use them.

Not that I can see.

They are compatible.  The blacks are the same, as best I can tell.  The
midtone colors are a bit different.  The FS inks a slightly less warm and
less green.  So, if you don't drain the Piezo inks out of the system you
could see some slight streaking.  However, no flushing fluid is needed.
