Has anyone put a 500 battery instead of the stock 750?

How does the lighter battery feel on this bike?
I have the carbon expert, rides are usually 25 miles or so, 1,000 to 1,500 meters ascent .always finish with 40% or more battery .
Wondering how the bike handles with a 500 lighter battery, is it very noticeable?
Worth it to try it?

I swap the 500 and 700 depending on distance I'm riding. I ride a s works and can't tell the difference in the way the bike handles or feels. Only purchased the 500 because I have some big rides planned
 
im willing to change one of my 500w's to 700w :P could even pay something in between :)

Sorry guys I need to clarify my post.
I don't want to swap a battery with anyone. I have the 700 battery that came with the S Works and purchased a 500 to carry as a spare for when I do long rides. I install the 500 for short rides occasionally and as I said I can't feel the difference.

lol. at first it started as a joke, but JWRX told that he is ready to make a deal. Too bad he is in Malaysia... Think it would be easier to ride my bike there ( ;) ) than try to arrange a parcel transportion there.

anyways I can see such need when (IF) they are offering only 700W batteries on 2020 models.
