There is also the effect of finger damping.
Its more audible on acoustics and violins , but , as a public service.
If the frets are low there is more acoustical damping from the fingertips.
Often when refreting classical guitars there is a noticeable brightening of tone if higher fret is installed. I discount the extra mass "theory" in this case. I wouldn't guess the extra weight would be more than 2 frets worth. (time to weigh some batches of fret wire)
So there is a difference between high and low fret wire from the point of view of acoustics.
I know that one of my ash/maple tele's is crazy bright with high fret. I put some wire in there , (guess its about .80 by .50.) after the vintage wire . Very bright.
On a maple neck the finger damping may be beneficial.
Its a very slight effect but perceivable.
I guess I like vintage wire pretty well, but for some of the stuff I'm called on to play higher wire and flatter radius is appropriate. I prefer the smaller radius on Tele's.
