Cisco ASA Compatibility Question

Not a Cisco guy, but I have a 5515-x K8 that is EOL and we're not ready to pull the trigger on replacing it at this point in time, even though we cannot get a new SmartNet on it.

I've seen refurbished 5515-x K9's out there. I assume this is a newer model, than the K8.

What I want to know is if I had a K9 here as a 'warm spare' and in the event of a failure of the K8 pushed a copy of the running config on the device or a full image of the K8 to the K9 would it operate correctly?

I'm curious about this as an interim BCP plan that we know is flawed, but kicks the can down the road until we can bite the bullet for Palo Altos that we want so badly.
