"remember, the small port develops "better" power because the air enters the cylinders at a higher velocity, bigger cams could actually harm power production"
this is due to the port and intake design, not the cams. id say youll just notice a small mid to top end improvement.
its been done before.
if you posted at club4ag.com you might get an answer from someone whos actaully done it.
the sound will change slightly, you may or may not notice though. id say the differance in sound is more due to the intake design than the cams.
whether its worth it depends on whether you can get some one to fit them/ajust youre valve clearance cheaply.

If you've got the cams, by all means do it. And, as said, make sure you do it right  If you've never done it yourself before, offer a case of beer to someone who knows...

Changing cams isn't hard. Just unbolt the old ones and bolt in the new ones.
Adjusting the shims so the clearances between the cam lobe and the valve is a hassle. I have never done it myself, but I believe it involves a lot of measure clearance, remove cam, adjust shims, fit cam, repeat. Although I'm sure someone like MrShin, IRA11Y of maybe even Google could enlighten us.
