I agree with some of these, but disagree with others.

I don't think Gilli would have agreed to betray Merlin, for example. He seemed to have really changed/learned his lesson by the end of The Sorcerer's Shadow. Fans would have whined that the writers were 'ruining his character' if they had him instead of Daegeal.

The others, yes, I can see how they are bascially interchangable.
