To actually answer your question simply, I would just say YES, the performance would be different. However, to say in what way it would be different would be tougher. Though I too also fly mostly all APC props, I still find an occasion every now and then where the old MA prop design works better for pull, or acceleration, or especially downline braking (if that is important for a particular plane) with a particular plane. Another thing some people are not aware of is that at least some of the MA props use an under cambered airfoil.
