Hey Ric 
  Good point . The loop does stand the string elevation  a bit higher off the 
plate & this needs to be taken into consideration  especially when setting up 
a new bridge height. With an old bridge your stuck  with what you got unless 
you drop the plate a mm or so to accommodate the change  before restringing.

I  suppose tho that  since the loop (being thicker) will force the string  
to come off the hitch pins a bit higher then otherwise. Perhaps before  
using this on any old piano it might be a good idea remember this when  
considering the angle the string needs comming off the back side of the  
bridge ?  

Cheers
