I was just a bit surprised that your aircore coils looked so small compared to the ones Magnepan installed. That could mean yours are having a higher resistance. The series resistance reduce the output of the midrange. If you liked the tonal balance of the original crossover and now use coils with higher resistances, it may sound a bit different.
As Magnepan used an ironcored coil for the 0.82 mH-coil, I guess it has a low resistance, probably lower than your Solen coil. It is true tht aircored coils get expensive if you go for low resistance. That is also the reason to why Magnepan uses them frequently.
If you like the sound of your 3.6 the way they are now - do nothing.
