Bottom bracket compatibility?

Hi,
Am considering buying a bike which comes with an FSA Mega Exo crankset and integrated bottom bracket. The question is will I be able to replace this, with say a Shimano Saint or XT Hollowtech 2 crankset with integrated bottom bracket, without having to mess about with the BB shell on the frame?i.e will the threads be the same on both BBs?
Both are external bearing type bottom brackets and the FSA website says that their BB has an english thread but not sure about the Shimano one.
Cheers
Stu

English is standard.
so no probs."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
