Opinions: On op amp replacement

[i.c. ultramedia]

I was recently given the advice to replace all the 741 and 748 op amps (on
a paia modular)
with LM301AN's, and LF351N's--------

2 questions.

1--Anyone have opinions on *how much* difference this might make? They're
relatively cheap (1.10 usd or so) and direct pin-compatible, I've been
told, but I'll need about 20, so thought I'd ask.
2--Any good projects with which to use the 741/748s that will be left over,
or are they that useless...?


Thanks gurus, for the thoughts...
