I have a Klipsch 5.1 system including some RF-3 II floorstanding mains. I have not used the grills and have been fortunate until recently when my nephews damaged one of the cones by kicking a small ball inside. This was the result:

Now, trying to search on this issue, the only thing I really came up with is the dust cap being dented, but that is not the issue. Couple of questions, is it worth replacing this (assuming it is fairly easy as I have no experience with speaker repair), or will it not affect sound quality and simply putting on the grills now will be good enough to hide the problem and prevent future issues.
As for a replacement, searching ebay, I was able to find this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipsch-K-1083-SV-RF-35-Replacement-Woofer-Part-No-120861-/300837274393?pt=US_Speaker_Parts_Components&hash=item460b4c8319
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipsch-K-1083-SV-Woofer-Part-No-120856-/300760670711?pt=US_Speaker_Parts_Components&hash=item4606bba1f7
However, the model number is slightly different from the K-1083-SB (V instead of B) listed on the product page on
http://www.klipsch.com/rf-3-ii-floorstanding-speaker
Also, the part no is also different between the two listings.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
