I do the same thing Neal's describing. One thing to keep in mind though, is that any guitar with a tremolo system may cause you to have to change from resting your hand on the bridge. Even a Strat can be sensitive to your hand resting on the bridge, causing the entire guitar to be ever so slightly out of tune. With a floating bridge system, the effect is far more pronounced, and you have to be able to play without resting your hand on the bridge with any kind of pressure. Its not anything to worry about right now, just something to keep in mind in the future. Just for fun, next time you're in a guitar store, try out a guitar with a floating bridge, and you'll see what I mean.
