I think they can rub more and the friction will result in more markings on the saddle

You should really always use leather with leather and synthetic with synthetic, otherwise you can damage and shorten the lives of both saddle and leathers.

They'll rub the leather. If you want leather webbers Bates do some thiugh they aren't cheap, the best price I found was www.4dobbin.co.uk (or may be .com, I can't remember) & I've always found the service excellent.
