Default Bobbins

I have a Bernina machine and this summer I bought a Pfaff Ambition Essential machine which I am using maily for piecing quilts. My Pfaff requires clear plastic bobbins for Pfaff machines. However, I accidently put one of my metal Bernina bobbins in my Pfaff machine and used it and did not even realize I had a Bernina metal bobbin in--until it went empty and I went to change it!. My stitches were fine with using the metal Bernina bobbins in my Pfaff machine. The advantage I see to having the Pfaff clear plastic bobbins is that I can see better when the bobbin is getting near empty. Otherwise, is there any reason why I should not use the metal Bernina bobbins in my Pfaff machine? Will it hurt it in any way? Have any of you intermixed your bobbins between different brands of machines.?
