I'll only add that painters blue masking tape makes a great temporary "shield" below the bridge when changing strings on a pinless bridge.
The only issue I've noticed is that by having to cut the strings to pull them out (rather than "saw" the bridge more with each extraction) I don't then have a set of used strings to send to the Second Strings Project.
There are also designs which use a pin "mount" for the ball end which I think make the issue of break angle and torque even less different than a pinned bridge.
I like the look of a pinless, myself, and if the luthier / builder can make it function well, I prefer it.
Cheers,
Phil
