Will iTunes Match handle my 5000 track highly personalised library

My iTunes library of around 5000 tracks consists of 98% personally ripped CD's from my own collection-very few iTunes purchase.. Each and every track has PERSONALLY CHANGED artwork, it's own personalised grouping, EQ, genre and other allowable iTunes modifications.

I am thinking of putting all this in the Cloud with iTunes match-for listening on IOS devices iPhone/ipad...thus saving space..etc etc

Will iTunes Match be able to cope with this?...what are others experiences when handling large quantities of changed data on iTunes ripped tracks?

If you ever have to re-download a matched track, you will get the Store copy of the song, which will have the original metadata.

Foxy - If iTunes Match is unable to match a track, it will upload your copy. But if it is able to match the track, it uses the store copy, which has the original metadata and does not reflect any changes you may have made.
