Using InteractiveChange only, you will trigger replacing extra times (when user in the middle of editing). It might be Ok for quick test, but in real situation with implemented RI, it could create tremendous overhead. I think Lostfocus is a little bit better, however I'm not sure that the idea to edit combo items on fly is robust at all.
