Should be called bell ends. Nobody else will buy them.
Tonight I might try to refit my strings, can't believe I had it wrong all these years.
Yeah I did it wrongly when I first got an acoustic too. Then someone posted a link to that pic you have (or something very similar) and that sorted it.
I actually got a little bendy mirror with an LED light on it so I could see for sure if the ball-ends were seated properly. Worked really well. )

Still now I have a bendy mirror with a light on it. Hours of fun. Well, not so much, I think the battery is dead. But potentially hours of fun.
Looking at the pictures on the website, you would surely be reducing the torque on the saddle and therefore reducing how much you are moving the soundboard. Think about a normal acoustic where that string is anchored under the bridge plate, then running with full contact right through the bridge and back over the saddle. Compared with this just sort of lying flat across the saddle. Massive change to the whole physics of it I would say. Like anything, it obviously needs to be tested in person to be sure.
And no doubt adding that much mass to the bridge area is going to dramatically change the tone as well. Obviously whether for the better is down to the ears of the individual, but I would seriously doubt it would be an improvement. Brighter and thinner would be my guess at the tonal change.
Anyway, regardless of tonal impacts. Hideous, just hideous...
