Phantom A-7 - Steel or Brass Kahler Rollers?

[morningstar]

Got an A-7 from Peter. Super guitar, thanks Peter.

After all the digging about, I have determined the Kahler is a 2300 black with the brass saddles. I have decided to replace the Kahler (as always the original will stay with the guitar). It doesn't really need a new trem, but I want to do it anyway.

I note the drop in replacement is Kahler model 7300, with brass or steel rollers.

As between Steel and Brass rollers, which is better for what uses? I do want durability, but the existing one has brass and has some serious body to its tone.

Thanks

I've had both brass and steel rollers. I think brass was pretty much the standard and to my ears, it sounded better (less "clinky") than the steel rollered one I had.

Every Kahler I've had has had brass.

+1 on the heavy springs. Takes the "rubber bandy" feel out of the Kahler and gives it a much more solid play.

Good enough that I won't block it out of frustration? I bend strings a lot and I finally gave up and blocked my Kahler. If the heavy springs will help with that, maybe I'll give them a try.
