If your asking if it' ll mean as much to you with a different cape, only you can answer that. If your asking if it' ll look right, yes, if done correctly, it will look the same as any other mount. The key will be to get a cape from a similar age deer with similar bases. Replacing a cape from a 5 1/2 year old deer with a cape from a 2 1/2 year old deer won' t seem quite right when you look at it on the wall, since you' ll be able to picture how the deer looked in you mind. The facial structure just isn' t the same. Take it to a quality taxidermist and they can get just the right cape for you, but it won' t be free.
