Electret handheld mics

My ears like the way they sound especially when the radio has the capability of switching from dynamic to elc to discern the difference. So of course I have to try a modification where I'm using Presidents and Anytones.
2 part question: Is there an upgrade electret mic element to stuff in that tiny hole, and is the juice worth the squeeze?

The stock mics (electret) do sound better. Even when I switched to Dynamic on my McKinley, the Dynamic mic still sounded bad, but I hate the way the new mics feel when holding them. I'm thinking of buying a kit off eBay to pull the Dynamic out and put an electret in, for the way it feels, and aesthetics.
