Bill,

The P-E Pt2, the Madisound Silver Flute YAG20-1 and the Stryke SA-TW1 are essentially the same tweeter so purchase on best price/availability. The Silver Flutes are used in the Linus 2 line array (the larger array in the attached photo and contact Rick Craig at www.selahaudio.com for info). I would worry a bit as the 7" woofers really need to be crossed no higher than 2000 Hz so mating to the planars would be a little bit tricky but very doable. The Linus 2 crosses at 2300 Hz from Vifa TC14's to the planars. The planar tweeters need to be mounted in a slot cutout without gaps. I would use 8 to 9 per side to get the vertical coverage (standing and sitting), extend the near field , and to equalize the in-room power response between the woofer and tweeter lines.

As explained in my Near Field Line Array white paper it is difficult to get small enough/good enough dome tweeters to work well through 20 kHz without combing. I avoid them for that reason.

Ribbon tweeters such as the Fountek JP-2's, Aurum Cantus G3, Raven R2, etc. would take your the sound quality of your array to the next level but likely your budget would be far exceeded.
