Is it better to replace my gotoh 510 bridge with something less expensive when I block off my trem or does a high quality bridge improve the sustain when doing this?

If you like the sound of your guitar I’d leave the bridge alone. There are a lot of opinions on how blocking the bridge does or does not affect the tone.
There are several methods....all with their reasons and fans.
