Is that your old blue one stripped & refinned, or something new?
(Photobucket's gone to shit - most of us use imgur now!)
This one's something new ish. The blue one is still blue, this a diy-er I made years ago that I've decided to give a new lease of life to.

That's a hell yes from me.
The orange with pearl scratchplate and maple neck reminds me of the G&L ASAT I had that I didn't get on with but loved the look of.
Having done the exact same thing this weekend, then took it all back off again (see my thread elsewhere), I decided that Bigsbys and I don't mix.
I don't thick its affected it much tbh, it still sound like a tele though the action is a bit higher than it was previously.

I think it does change the sound a little and the dynamics quite a lot too, which is unfortunate as I love Bigsbys but prefer the stock Tele sound/response, and I can never quite get both on the same guitar.

Interesting that you think using the original bridge is cheating, Jack White seems to disagree:
It does work - certainly with the polished steel saddles, which I think is what he's using (although the lighting makes it hard to be sure) - but there's quite a lot of friction as the strings move over them which can cause trouble, particularly with brass saddles. The rocker bridge was purposely fitted by Fender to avoid that.
