A friend was commenting on how much better one of my acoustics played and sounded after some work. Told him I liked the change and was thinking about replacing the nut and saddle on the other acoustic too. He suggested that since I usually fingerpick or play bar chords I usually don't play open strings and the nut material shouldn't really matter that much. Hadn't thought about it that way before but it would be cheaper to just change the saddle and leave the nut as is.

Any thoughts on the matter?

I agree with your friend and of course, the cost of a saddle alone would be cheaper than the expense of the nut too.
