An ABR doesn't need to bow much to make the D & G strings slightly too low, a lot of people will be playing Les Pauls with a higher action than needed because they wind the bridge up to get the D & G strings ringing nicely, and the outer strings are higher than they should be. Take a straight edge and hold it against your ABR you can often see a small gap in the centre where the bridge has collapsed.
In my experience it's rare to find a 25 year old guitar where this hasn't happened to some extent.
Togps' locking ABR's definetely improved the sustain on my LS80, and have the added advantage that the ABR doesn't fall off when you change strings
