I feel less inclined to move a post in its current direction (up or down) with the scores hidden.

  That's not necessarily a bad thing though - each time you do vote it's an independent decision you've made.

    Exactly. As a corollary, I've noticed (non-scientific, anecdotal observation) that my average karma per post is slightly down since scores were removed. I like the current system more, though.

      I don't pay attention to average karma as it really depends on the type of comments and the popularity of the threads they are in - but my feeling is that high-voted comments I've had since the change have had more upvotes than they would have before, because people are unable to look at them and think "Upvote worthy, but not more than the level it's at now".
