I have heard it was. I was pondering getting a FR locking trem, but I didn't know if it would fit a strat, and I think it would just be easier getting tuners. And I don't want something that's a bear-cat to tune.
Is it difficult to tune a floating trem?

IMO it´s no more or less painstaking thatn any other floating trem with the exception of the lock and the fine tuning afterwards.
A Floyd will not fit a stock strat without at least drilling for the posts and modifying the rout a bit.

Can you clarify - is your Strat body routed (dug out) for a floating trem or will it rest against the body? I'm confused by you saying maybe you should get tuners.

Yep. Zerb's right on all points. With a little practice, tuning a Floyd is pretty easy.

It really doesn't take me that much more time than tuning a standard, really, if you have the bridge/springs where they are and you put the same strings on you shouldn't have to adjust the bridge, or at least I don't. Tuning is just like on a standard, I didn't even have to use my fine tuners the last time I tuned up my V.

I wouldn't say its 'hard' but it does take me longer, i can have a new set of strings on and tuned on my hardtail far quicker that my RG with floyd.
