I've found the ride to be stiffer on roller bearings. They may be much less maintenance overhead compared to the weekly, Tuesday afternoon journal box filling, but they are very unforgiving when passing along nuances in the track to the truck frame and carbody compared to the slop of a plain bearing. I know that isn't a priority but not everything newer is better in every way.
