Human discussion by definition is a continuum and refects an evolution of thoughts, and the content in an internet discussion forum like this reflects that reality. This forum software doesn't have a working feature to effectively collect for you, all the thoughts on a chosen subject.

I don't recall reading what I would consider something approaching a definitive thread on saddles.

Since you really like the instrument the way it is, I would be reluctant to pay someone else to change something like saddles. Ask the tech who is advocating this change what it would cost in labor, and then ask him if he would be willing to change it back to your stock parts after a trial period at no additional charge, if you decide you don't like it. It sounds like you'd be funding trying out what someone else thinks you should do to your gear.

But for anyone who champions knowing if a change like that would make an improvement and who's technical enough himself to do the work himself (so the labor is "free" and available at any time), my recommendation would be to try out different saddles.
