Focus screen issue

I'd like to ask if anyone else has had this issue. I replaced my screen with one of the Ebay screens and I liked it much more than the stock screen. I ran a test with my macro lens and focus was right on the money. BUT, now my auto-focus was off. I remembered to put the thin plastic shim between the screen and the prism, so that's not the problem. And as I said, the macro test was fine. I don't really understand how the auto-focus mechanism works, but I know that when it would think it's in focus the split image would show otherwise. Exposures were off by about a full stop but that was to be expected. I'd like to know if anyone else can confirm this. I've had to go back to my stock screen in the meantime, and it makes me wonder if a Katz-Eye would be any different.
