Replace 10sp SRAM cog w/Miche cog - will shifting suck?

Specifically, I want to remove the 14t cog from a SRAM 12-32 and insert a Miche 16t cog between the SRAM 15 and 17 cogs. That would give me a 12-13-15-16-17 progression, which is better for me: 12-13 for downhill, 15-16-17 for flats, and the remaining five cogs for uphill. The 14t on the stock SRAM 12-32 is a "wasted gear" for where I ride and my cycling ability.

I have three bikes w/SRAM 12-32 cassettes. I was able to obtain one (1) individual SRAM 16t cog, and did what I describe above. It shifts fine - I love it.

SRAM doesn't sell individual cogs, unfortunately, so obtaining two more SRAM 16t cogs is not an option. But there are 10sp Miche 16t cogs. Does anyone have experience with plugging a Miche cog into an SRAM cassette? Would shifting be ok, or would it suck?

Thank you.
