i think its good to have different setups for different music as it forces you to play differently , where as with light strings we all tend to bend them up a tone or more with heavy strings we tend to play the note that you need changing your style which i think makes you more versatile and broadens your horizons so to speak . at the moment i use 9-46 which are too thin for me normally i prefer 10`s-46 but my hands suffer from arthritus now so i have to be more carefull what i use and adjust my playing to suit . what is also worth noting the heavier the strings the heavier pick i use and vice versa for light strings as you do not have to play light strings so hard to get the tone.
