Thanks @mellowsun and if I take the plunge and change them, I'll see what happens
D’Addario NYXL guitar strings will bend farther, sing louder, and stay in tune better than any string you’ve played before. Envisioned, perfected, and manufactured by D’Addario in New York, this newly engineered, break-resistant, high-carbon steel core and plain steel alloy delivers a whole new level of freedom, confidence, and power. NYXL’s provide more strength and up to 131% greater tuning stability by utilizing a completely reinvented wire drawing process coupled with a revolutionary “fusion twist” process for the plain steels. The reformulated nickel plated string windings have greater magnetic properties resulting in higher output and enhanced mid-range frequency response for more presence and crunch.
I believe 79% of all statistics are made up on the spot....
I don't have a strat though.
I quite liked them, felt a little more slinky to me and seemed to last longer (apart from the snappage), dunno if thats a bit of a placebo effect though.

Yes you should expect a difference in tone. The materials have an inherent bump / boost at between around 1.5 and 3.5khz which is the upper mid / lower treble range so they are not really designed for a vintage tone but a more modern, mid-heavy sound.
Those who arn't sure about the tuning stability I highly recommend you test it for yourself, I was literally amazed when I first tried them out! The stronger, tougher material holds tuning better under tension than any other string on the market (though I'm looking forward to comparing with the new Ernie Ball Paradigms).
