2002 VS. 2006 Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster pick -ups / thoughts ?

2002 American Deluxe Stratocaster HSS. and Roller Nut-

VS. 2006 American Deluxe Pick-Ups / Thoughts ?

Q: Does the Roller nut dramatically change the FEEL of the strings under your fingertips- or just the sound a little ?

Q: Is anyone EVER happy witht eh H-S-S- bridge Humbucker on a stratocaster or do most players wish they had the classic S-S-S- Single coils all around?

I'm torn between 2 guitars for sale- one hand is the 2002 American Deluxe Maple neck - and on the other hand- is the 2006 American Deluxe

...the following is what came up from my Q: to the Web ....let me know what you think, okay ?

A 2002 and a 2006 Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster differ primarily in pickups and electronics, switching systems, and hardware specs. The 2002 model belongs to the first generation of the American Deluxe series (transitioning to contoured heels), while the 2006 model belongs to the second generation with modern hot-output designs.

Pickups and Electronics

• 2002 Model: Uses Vintage Noiseless single-coil pickups powered by an 18V preamp system (introduced around 2002) for a cleaner, more traditional vintage sound profile. [1, 2, 3, 4]
• 2006 Model: Features Samarium Cobalt Noiseless (SCN) pickups which offer a slightly hotter output, broader dynamic range, and less noise. [1, 2]

Switching Systems

• 2002 Model: Standard 5-way blade switch and traditional wiring layout (pre-S-1 switch era for most 2002 builds).
• 2006 Model: Includes the S-1 switching system built into the volume knob, adding 5 extra pickup wiring combinations for parallel and series tones. [1, 2, 3]

Hardware and Body Specs

• 2002 Model: May have a standard or mid-year phased-in contoured neck heel and uses Schaller Lite Bass/Strat style tuning machines.
• 2006 Model: Features a fully standardized contoured neck heel for easier upper-fret access and upgraded Hipshot UltraLite locking tuning machines. [1, 2, 3]
