Right now, I'm trying to figure out if a Black Widow head painted blonde would be a good replacement for the ROC Cover Girl, whose head is much uglier in person than I hoped.
I actually like that Mara Jade, but I totally get why she tends to take heat. I think your idea for replacing Cover Girl's head seems sound; they really managed to out-do themselves with how unappealing they made her head. That said, have you checked out any custom casters for replacement heads yet, instead of planning on cannibalizing a head from an existing figure?
Also, I am very fond of the 25th Vipers. They are closer in design to the classic Viper costume than the PoC/30th onwards, and still hold up well visually. However, most of them have somewhat pre-posed wrists which may be annoying; the axis of arm rotation is at an odd angle; and, the goggles are usually a separate piece that falls off all the time.
