I would be interested to see any proof you might have that there is a fundamental difference that would affect string tension between one manufacturors plain steel string and anothers plain steel string, or one's steel core nickel wrapped versus anothers, if the guages are the same.
If we're talking about the difference between stainless steel strings and nickel wrapped, then yes there is a difference and I neglected to mention that in my first post. Stainless steel wrapped strings will have a bit more weight to them and thus need slightly more tension to cause the string to vibrate at the desired pitch than nickel. So a stainless steel wrapped string will have a pound or more of tension than an equivalent guage nickel wrapped string at the same pitch, all else being equal. My apologies for not mentioning that originally, it totally did not even occur to me. So my list applies only to plain steel unwound strings and nickel wrapped wound strings.
