Different hotends on a dual setup?

I have a Taz 5 with a single Hexagon 3mm hotend. I picked up a Hexagon 1.75 hotend with the intent of doing a conversion. But am now wondering if I could use both in a dual extruder setup with the S3D software, or if they have to be the same?

Yup, you can since they allow you to set a separate extrusion amount for each extruder. Read this:

I've use the method above and it works, although, you might want to get everything using the same filament size so you don't have to constantly keep both types in stock
