In short, yes you are wrong, a 103D has ~27cu at 10 Hz.

Changing the tip and cantilever could only affect the effective tip mass or moving mass of the cart's motor, which is in any case quite a bit lower than any MM cart.

So it is unlikely to change the compliance much. I'm not certain, but what-if 103Cs come with a diamond mounted on a metal rod and then glued into the cantilever? And, most re-tippers use a 'nude diamond', then the ETM is going to be a bit lower, so the LF res. might actually rise a tiny bit.

The effective mass of arm and cart and the cart's suspension are the two main factors driving LF resonance.
