Perhaps not to you but I suggest your post could have been more concise
But that does not matter.
As noted while there are differences in the logistical aspects of changing strings and likely differences in the direction of applied forces on the sound board and bridge plate which may or may not be an issue, but a luthier might have an educated opinion about that
However::
As far as audible difference ?
Objectively speaking --- while a luthier might have an opinion as to any audible difference. It would (like anybody's opinion) be founded in speculation not direct experience . Now while there certainly
could be some minuscule sound difference, perhaps because say for example the application of tension could possibly be very slightly different,,,, but that is still speculation as to actually being
audible with no way to know for sure.
Because again there is no way to play the same guitar with two different bridges at the same time----- which would in reality be the only way to accurately compare and know for sure about any possible audible difference.
So objectively any other answer than "no way to know for certain " would be mere speculation-- not experience based knowledge .
