Aluminum x-valve parts are only sold on the x-valve. $225 for the trade in program is the best way to go! That will get you a lighter, faster, and more a consistant valve, oh and Level 10!:)

ULE will also take some weight off the mainbody, but the SS mainbody isn't really that heavy.

there is nothing to swap out of your valve. the SS classic valve doesn't have ANY parts that are directly compatable with an x-valve. (except maybe the bolt)

IMHO the x-valve isn't that great compared to a Retro w Lvl 10 (3oz's lighter due to cheaper/softer metal). I bought a RT valve w lvl 10 for $180 in the classifieds, had it milled to take the ULT for $15 (Brad @ paintballmaxx-houston), and still have my classic to sell or save. That's $50 less than the trade in plus I still have my Classic valve/bolt which sell between $50-$75. That's $100 difference for 3oz of saved weight.
