Clapton uses blocked trem Strats for a reason. Clearly he could have as many hardtails as he could ever possibly want.
Supposedly, when you use the wood block method, you get no trem movement, but the springs still contribute something to the tone. I put a maple block in one of my Strats about 15 years ago, and left there since. It makes a very noticeable difference in feel, and it also seemed to improve sustain. Not sure I hear the springs or not though.
