I'm consider Key Lime instead of Meyer Lemon for this cheesecake. Anyone tried subbing a different citrus in this recipe?

I find meyer lemons to be sweeter than regular lemons, and key limes to be sweeter than regular limes, but they have different characters and sour notes. The recipe calls for 2 Meyer lemons, but they are much larger than key limes, and I find juicier, so you're going to have to figure out the conversion, I'm thinking you'll need 4-6 key limes. The sweetness factor would be my concern, but perhaps you're looking for a more "mouth puckering" key lime type of experience.
