You're behind the times ;-)
According to the BTO, where both are available, goldfinches (the main nyger feeders) prefer kibbled sunflower hearts to nyger.
I've put out a feeder of kibbled sunflower as an experiment, and it's proving very popular, not just with hordes of squabbling goldfinches, but also with two collared doves who look really stupid trying to perch on a feeder.
