There can be a difference. I shoot a little over 70 pounds at my draw; and I shoot with two fingers. Fast flight string hurts my fingers so bad its not funny. You can put another layer of serving on fast flight to make it thicker; but I like an 18 strand flemish dacron string.
 I can still hit stuff; the arrow might be slower; but my fingers are not sore.
 I have cut a strand or two on my string; and it never happens at a good time. 18 strands gives me a little more confidence that way too.
 Might be an illusion to think that; but I have had a bow string break on a draw; and had the riser snap in two ( Bear Kodiak takedown).

My experience is there'll be a signifcant difference in spine.  The ff string will require about 10 lbs heavier.  Bare shaft with each string and you'll see what I mean.

3Treestrings makes a nice string.

There is a significant difference between FF and dacron. Get in touch with Goldenhawk aka LeRoy Carlson he makes awesome strings and can also be a big help figuring out exactly what you need.
