I love light strings. Better attack, and I feel more in control.

I think you might have put a little toooo fine a point on that one, but I do agree that in the guitar community in general, there's a little bit of "real men use fat strings, because light gauges are for sissies who can't handle the real thing." The same thing goes for gear, like "THE ONLY good *fill in blank with a piece of gear* are *fill in the blank with some 4 digit priced brand of gear* and everything else is shite."
But this particular doesn't really do much of that kinda thing, and most of the guys here are much more respectful of people's preferences unlike some OTHER site *ahem Harm. Cent.* You need to give us a little more credit than that.

I'm still figuring out a good string size for my 7 string, because I'm new to owning 7's and I haven't had a guitar with a high string tuned to E or Eb in YEARS...
