For anyone who is interested in having a 2 pole filter in their EII, I did try this mod out, and it works just as expected, and predicted in my original post. All you need is a simple toggle switch and I believe 1 additional resistor for each voice. 

That said, there really wasn't too much of a noticable difference between the 2 and 4 pole setting for most people to want to try this. The 2 pole obviously provided a slightly brighter sound. Although I imagine the difference would be more noticable if the filters in the EII reach self resonance. 

The filters in my unit do not self oscillate, almost but not quite. 

I have yet to try psuedo stereo sampling on the EII, my goal is to sample similar sounds or even the same sound, assign one to an individual output panned hard left, the other assigned to another output panned hard right. The key would be to use slightly different loop points so you get more natural phasing between the two samples to open up the stereo field. Or even pan them both center, to breath some life into static loop points and create the chorus/beating you hear in analog oscillators.

It's true that EMU didn't implement all possible features of that 2045 but I don't think that tweaking inside is better than do the same outside with additional SSM filters. Thanks to eBay that we can still buy it new old stock. I spent few month by servicing my EII and don't want to open it anymore ))) Meanwhile I'll probably support you in this idea.
