If you mean a complete swap of the "guts" then I think there's no real
difference, but if you mean swapping the brains, it would be harder...

However, I just did this recently, myself--and I replaced the screen.
It didn't make sense to me to put the brawn of a 2100 into the body of
a 2000 when I had the 2100 case, so I swapped screens.
