Thanks, I was missing the flash erase step because it seemed
unnecessarily scary!  The downgrade then worked just fine.

After rebooting into FreeBSD I can confirm repeating the
"diskinfo -t" tests that all the errors have now gone.  I'll
do some more extensive testing tomorrow, but it looks like
this has solved the problem.  Should be ready to put into use
as discs for ZIL, L2ARC and the base system.

Thank you very much for your help, which was very much appreciated!


Kind regards,
Roger
