Well, yes I think there is noticeable difference. I had the PD-A600 pedals which are labeled as SPD road pedals and which I found much better in terms of power transfer than the double-sided SPDs I had before. But my new Ultegra SPD-SL are even better. The contact area to the pedal just seems larger, better distributing the pressure you put on the pedal. I also bought shoes with a carbon sole, so that definitely makes a difference in terms of power transfer.
In the end I just left the saddle height as it was and I am totally fine, so did not see any reason to change anything in that respect.
