It affects the sound too. Usually adds sustain and maybe some high frequency response.
Fender Strats went to a smaller diecast block for a while a few years ago, but still offered a "vintage" steel block on some models like the 57/62 reissues and Jimmie Vaughan models, etc. They've now gone back to a larger copper infused block for more density on the American series. It changes the sound.

"D'oH!"
I totally missed we are talking about a Floyd. But you are right anyway.
Ok, I'll just retreat again to my doddering ol' geezer cave to play more Duane Eddy records. "...Hey you kids, stay off my lawn!..."
