I did some testing on this using extra resistors to modify the pot values, with a switch to compare it in real time. The smallest difference that was clearly audible was about 25% below the stock value and 33% above it. 209K is only 16% below 250K so I doubt you'll hear it.
There is a good reason why commercial pots are usually made to 20% tolerance.

There's nothing wrong with using 'cool' caps in a guitar at all... just don't pay too much for them in the belief that they will give you The Magic Tone .
I'm always happy to use the 'right' vintage-types in reissue or genuine vintage guitars, for the simple reason that they look right - nothing else. NB, for many of the most sought-after vintage guitars including most 60s Fenders and Gibsons, that means cheap ceramics .
