I've upgraded a biscuit cone in an Epiphone Biscuit a long time ago, replacing whatever was in there with a National Resophonic. The improvement was very obvious, and put it on a par with much more expensive resos in both volume and quality. However, a lot of new resos seem to have fairly decent cones - Republic use Continental cones, for example - so the amount of improvement might not be as much as it was when I did mine.

Some other things that might improve tone are low string break angle over the saddle and heavier strings. The effect of string gauge is very striking in my Estralita.
