Default Upgrading a Big Shuriken ?

I noticed that the 25 mm high PWM Slip Stream 120mm fan on e.g. the Mugen 2 and Kabuto have a higher airflow and lower noise than the "Slim" PWM Slip Stream 120mm fan on the Big Shuriken:
  • Mugen 2: max. 1300 rpm, 74.25 CFM, 26.50 dBA
  • Big Shuriken: max. 1600 rpm, 38.05 CFM, 28.89 dBA
I'm not interested in overclocking, but I would still like my CPU to run as cool as possible with as low noise as possible, therefore my questions:
  1. Is it possible to mount a "normal" 25mm high Slip Stream fan on a Big Shuriken ?
  2. Would this indeed result in better cooling performance with lower noise as compared to the standard Big Shuriken ?
  3. Where would I be able to buy the PWM controlled "normal" Slip Stream 120mm fan ?
Thanks.
