Steel vs Brass Saddles - Upgrading a Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster

I'm upgrading my new Telecaster with Gotoh In Tune brass saddles and Gotoh Vintage Locking Tuners. I thought this would be a good opportunity to compare the differences between the steel saddles that came with the Classic Vibe Telecaster and brass saddles similar to what originally came with the Classic Vibe Teles. Can you hear a difference?
