Default 1N23E vs. Schottkey?? Question

This is on a 10 gig receive setup. There is no LNFE, just antenna
to mixer direct couple in a balanced waveguide mixer assembly.
The question is, if I remove the 1N23E/1N23ER pair, and go with a
balanced set of schottkey microwave diodes, this would allow me to
drop my local oscillator injection perhaps 6db. Will I see any
increased sensativity, or should I just keep the 1N23 setup?
