There is no exaggeration when I say that the wires have no discernible effect on affecting arm movement - you will effectively be seeing the effect of bearing friction or levelling errors if you see either restricted movement or a bias in one direction. This was the main motivation for this project - with the stock wires in my Technics arm or the Cardas Teflon wires (which were worse), I simply couldn't get free movement of the arm over the entire side of a record.
Sonically, I am unable to discern any audible effect due to the insulation change from Teflon either by measurement or aural comparison. The capacitance per unit length is marginally higher, but I assume you are using an MC?

The reason for the Teflon wires being worse (mechanically) is partly related to the fact that process is very hard to control to get a uniform coating.
As soon as I tested the final version, I told Kevin he was on to a winner!
