No. It had significantly less phase margin.

The LT1114 performs nicely if the passive components are
optimized for it:

<snipped from other posting (not yet posted, just under construction):>
...
I have tuned the ESR compensated circuit for usage with the
LT1114 (see picture VirtualGnd-Tuned02_bode_plot.png) by
increasing the ESR of the 47uF C by about factor 10 (5000mOhms)
and inserting a damping R in series with C11 to remove a HF resonance
at about 10Mhz (a series resonator formed by C11 and its ESI of about
10nH).
...

HTH.

Better not...

Congratulations !

ACK.

Moritz and me had a working session this weekend and etched
4 modEEGanalog pcb s for prototyping.
I will insert the components (for 1 pcb) these days and do some
testing.

Joerg
