No. The problem is the "try"...  or at least, it was when I had a  
cyrus + exim setup five years ago.
With cyrus it was impossible to easily check if the recipient was an  
existing local user. It required either the use of the mbpath utility  
or a recipient callout with lmtp over tcp.
I suppose that with a virtual users setup this is a moot point, but  
with system users nothing beats the simplicity of an all exim setup!  
(If you use exim, that is).
