Stanford and ACT/SAT

I recently heard from my counselor and peers that Stanford actually prefers the ACT over the SAT. I have found no mention of this on their website and I have not talked to an official Stanford admissions officer yet (maybe I will get the chance when they visit my town). I have already taken the SAT and I am happy with my score, but I don’t really want to take the ACT and risk getting a lower score than my SAT (I’ve never studied for the ACT yet). Have you guys heard anything about this? Do people who take both SAT and ACT have an advantage in admissions?
