Takamine also has quite a few pinless models that in addition to the glue joint are mechanically fastened. Don't know if Lowden or McIlroy are bolted in place. I have pinless bridge Tak and I can't say I notice a difference in performance from a standard pin bridge. If there is an advantage it would be enhanced intonation possibilities and ease of string change.
I agree with sniping strings off at change time and do it on all my guitars so the curlies don't get too wild in vicinity of the finish.
