Scott 3200A approval - enter the gauntlet?

All - I'm ready to replace my Maule tailwheel with a Scott 3200A wheel (I've read the forums for the pros & cons on the geometry, good stuff). My question is to anyone who has made this installation, did you have to go through the FSDO with more than just a 337? The 3200 is approved by the type certificate, the 3200 and 3200A have minor differences, and the Husky Type certificate specifies it for a "similar type" argument. That package together should be enough, but I don't want to do more than necessary.

Any experience-based guidance?

It's interesting that the 3200 is the only one approved in the type certificate, but the photo in the original owners manual shows a 3200A, at least for the 1954 model. Cessna must figured it was close enough and just put it on. Mabe they had the right idea....

Scott states that the 3200 and the 3200A are the same for purposes of type certification. (The "A" is a minor alteration.)
The Scott 3200 is approved on the aircraft type certificate, therefore nothing more than a logbook entry and wt/bal change is required.
