I've had very similar results. The crushed conditioned malt feels so fluffy. The downsides I've found are that crushing requires a bit more pressure, the rollers need to be cleaned afterwards since some grain will stick, and the grain bed doesn't filter as well, though. I've not noticed any astringency either way.

The grain bed filters WORSE? How is that even possible when you have more intact husks? Isnt that the whole point of conditioning malt, to create a more free flowing grain bed????
The benefit is that the grain bed is supposed to flow more freely.

I always have some stick.
As for filtering worse, since the hulls are intact, they don't compact as much, and yes, it flows more freely, but small particles make it through at a much higher rate. At least they do in my system.
