There's also far less sludge/residue after mixing and storing it for a couple days, if that matters.

Some people are stating they've had cyano / dinoflagellate issues after switching, not entirely sure what would be causing that though.
You can get cyano/dinos from trace element imbalances. I'm not saying it's endemic to the salt, but it's something that happens.
