Default Schlage residential keyways

The cylinder design is rather different. The one you sent the link,
isn't even near close to the design of the Schlage F line cylinder.

I was afraid of that. I assume something like this:

will fit the deadbolts but be too long for the F series knobs I have.

Hmm. That must be what I have (early 90's?). So in theory I could
move
some of those to where I want an E keyway (after replacing the
cylinder)
and replace them with newer F series. Everything would still look
pretty
much the same without having to upgrade all the knobs. Are 5-pin E
keyway
cylinders available?
