Sonar X2 - Allow Vstplugins to overwrite X1 versions?

I notice that some of the X2 and X1 vstplugin files differ (e.g., BitMeter.dll, Boost11_64.dll, etc.). Should we allow X2 to overwrite the X1 versions? Or keep them separate?

    The following plugins differ:

    BitMeter
    Boost 11
    Channel Tools
    Linear Compressor
    Linear EQ
    Percussion Strip
    Session Drummer 3
    TransientShaper
    Tube Leveler
    Vocal Strip

    Did anyone allow X2 to overwrite the X1 VST Plugins?

    If so, can X1 use the updated versions?

    After installing X2 alongside X1, I allowed it to overwrite those plug-ins.
    Ive had a few crashes in X2 so I had to return to using X1 for some time based projects and Ive felt no ill affects after allowing them to overwrite the vst's.

    Hope this helps
    Regards, Lee

    Sure, well-written VSTs do not depend on the DAW version.
