FWIW, I find myself up/down-voting less without the scores. I guess I mostly tend to vote to rectify imbalances. If a comment has a lot of upvotes already, I probably won't upvote (I figure once it's near the top, it doesn't matter much anyway). But if its popularity seems unwarranted, I may be more likely to downvote.
Conversely, I tend to upvote mostly what appear to be underrated comments that are low on karma. Not saying there's anything admirable about this approach -- what am I, some kind of Karma Robin Hood? -- but the new system definitely discourages it.
