Scimitar winglet handling qualities

Has anyone yet flown the 737 or 767 with the new scimitar winglets? How do they affect the handling qualities of the aircraft? I would imagine looking at them that they would increase the aircraft's stability in roll requiring more positive control inputs.

Apart from that, do they cause any noticeable changes in landing or ground effect. I don't see anything in particular in the new 737 FCTM about it; are max crosswind limits changed for example?
