Ok cool thanks. And I thought changing strings would take 5 minutes!

On electric guitars, you can adjust intonation with a screwdriver.
If you make a major change in string gauges on an acoustic, and want good intonation, you need someone who can make a new bridge to compensate.

Just don't tighten the springs too much - you can break the tremolo arm. You can use a block - which disables the tremolo arm entirely, but why disable it? It's part of the whole 'Strat' mystic. |

There really are a lot of setup variables on an electric. Going to see if my local tech will do it and give me a few pointers as he generally does.

Of course that might be the best route for you, but just to reiterate: there is a ton of good info on this stuff. Try Phillip McKnight on Youtube as a starting point, he has all kinds of videos on common setup /maintenance operations. And this stuff is actually VERY easy. Truss rod adjustment, setting string height, opening up nut slots, setting intonation, dealing with a floating trem: It's all out there.
