Ferraglide vs Fender Steel

[shredaholic]

Is there much sound difference between the steel ferraglide saddles with graphite insert, and a Fender modern steel saddle?

I think they sound a little darker...

Once I got mine switched I noticed more mids and sustain. I don't think they sounded any darker.

I don't use the ferraglides, but I use the graphite saddles and I did not notice any difference in tone.

Well I've used the normal graphite saddles before, and I did notice a big difference in tone. I quite liked the sound - more sustain, smoother - but I don't really want to change the feel of this strat. I'm hoping the difference will be less apparent with Ferraglides.
