My personal totally unscientific observation is that I seem to upvote less often. On the other hand, I seem to be getting slightly more upvotes than before the change.
I upvote more because I never think, "well, I'd just be piling on at this point". And it's more based on agreement or appreciation instead of righting karmic injustice.
My knowing that the owners of the site step in and try to fix problems causes me to invest more time and attention on voting because it reduces the probability that that my time and attention will go to waste due to incompetence or inattention by the owners.
Hell, until this thread, I didn't even know you could still vote! I assumed something was broken since the scores weren't visible and have been waiting for them to reappear.

That seems to be in line with pg's response in the linked thread with the same question.
