Yes, it's very easy to fall into the trap of listening with your eyes. It's why one of my mantras is 'I trust my ears. I don't trust my brain not to be fooled, or fool itself'.
I do like a good beryllium dome tweeter though. Although I like good soft domes, ceramics, aluminium alloy [etc.] too.

I leave some interesting readings.

It's quite interesting to note that Yamaha had both NS-1000 beryllium dome mid and tweeter line and NS-690 soft dome mid and tweeter line. Both were very popular and produced for more than 25 years:

Indeed. I try to mainly choose drivers that fit the job. If they have "errors" like a bad breakup. I mostly look into wether or not, it's something I can work with. For example. My midrange is an 5" alu. It has it's first breakup at around 10kHz. I cross around 2kHz and since I run it active. It's easy for me to fine tune.
If it works... it works 😎

Laurie Fincham on Beryllium
I enjoyed this great discussion with Laurie Fincham - At 30min He talks about Beryllium vs Titanium and Aluminum used in high frequency compression drivers, and the measurement technique used to show the advantage of Beryllium.
