Depending, the JD 61 FEL is more useful than the bh. But it doesn't dig worth a darn unless you put teeth on it.
But don't get the JD teeth. The interior dimensions to the 61 bucket is 60 7/8". The exterior dimension to the JD teeth is 60 7/8" So it's a bear of a fit. Also it weigh 126 pounds, overbuilt for the 2320. My recommendation is to get teeth from Markham Welding - Home . Do a search on this forum and you'll find only good things said about them. Only one warning, go to the markham website and take measurements of your bucket as they instruct you. Then when you order, give them your exact dimensions and they will build to suit subtracting 1/4" to allow for fit. You'll have to drill your bucket, but that's a cinch if you use a centerpunch and a step drill bit. Oh yeah, the markham teeth weigh 75 pounds. Another benefit of teeth is that they extend your bucket so that you can carry something like a eight foot 6x6.

I forgot to mention that you should inspect the routing of the hydraulic hoses on the 46bh. On mine the hoses were routed in such a way that when I swung the boom to the rubber stops, the hoses would be pinched. One of them failed at 25 hours. the dealer replaced the hoses under warranty.
