One of my favorite builders

I think the individual saddles are just more flexible for different fanning specs. Saves you from having to re-design an all-in-one bridge for every guitar model.
Intonation-wise it shouldn't make any difference as long as you can get the saddles to the appropriate intonation point for each string.

I absolutely love the idea of those fret-rods and I intend to try them someday.

I talked with my luthier/teacher and he said that with a fanned fret system, you have the tensions thingy that we all know, but another cool thing it's the position of the hand.

When you are on the first frets, they are fanned to the right, = to the position of your hand at that point. The same happens when your on the upper frets, they are fanned to the left, = to the position of your hand at that point.

It's difficult to explain this without any pic, but I think's that ok for give you an idea.

Fanned-frets are far more comfortable than straight imo.
