Personally I wouldn't cancel your original booking as the flights might not come back in.
+1, don't do it. I was once waiting for an F seat that I *knew* another FTer was on, and he had to cancel and release his seat... So I was on the phone with Aeroplan at the time he released, and nothing came into inventory - not then, not 24 hours later, and not ever later. So if you scored 4F, stick to them.
