To help the experts, I've posted the specifications of both tweeters here for comparison purposes:

For starters, I can see that the Satori is around 6 dB/W/m more sensitive than the OW1 which would require the addition of attenuating resistors in the Carrera crossover.

The Satori will completely mess up your speaker design. Using it with your woofer will need a new construction of your whole speaker. The OW1 is still aviable, so why mess with the system. You are not going to put a Volkswagon engine in your Corvette if it fails...
The expert opinion above indicates there are other specification differences that make the replacement unsuitable and that using an L-pad would not overcome its basic incompatibility.
How about replacing the OW1? That's really the only way to keep the original Carrera sound. You'll probably have to buy a pair. In the US:
