Default Bridge Replacement/Mod for a Gibson J-50

I just bought a '67 J-50, the kind with an adjustable bridge. It sounds pretty good to me but I've heard that either replacing the saddle with an insert in the bridge, replacing the bridge, and /or replacing the plywood bridge plate all can improve the sound of this guitar. Has anyone out there done any of this to their Gibsons? How do these mods affect tone? I wouldn't want to sacrifice warmth and bass...would these be enhanced or diminished? What is a bridge plate as opposed to just the bridge? Thanks for any advice you can give.
