Realistically, if you want a better tweeter than the Dayton Neo20A, then you have to go to ribbons.

In my research, which is considerable, THERE IS NO OTHER AVAILABLE DOME TWEETER than the Neo 20A, which can have its flange cut close enough to make the required center to center distance. The 1.25 or 1 inch models are too big and have a crossover too low, and the .5 inch models have a cross too high. All of them are usually too big to make the c-to-c distance.

I have to say that this is the reason why Jim and everyone else chooses ribbons or planars: only one possible choice for domes. And its a pretty inexpensive one. I'd like to find a dome specifically made that has a flange right up against the dome itself, and is more like a $10 quality each.
