Armen Tanzerian Vega banjo strings (2) Vega banjo strings 20 Aug 01

I am about to pick up a few sets of banjo strings for a friend in France. He has requested "Vega lights" (.09 for #1 and #5). I know that Vega was (is?) a reknown maker of banjos. In a local music store, they had a pack of MARTIN Vega strings (wrong gauge). Is this the only form of Vega strings one can buy? Did Martin buy the rights to the Vega name for banjo strings? Or is there a "real" Vega string.

Also, what do you 5-string types think of the Gibson "Earl Scruggs" strings, with a .09½ at #1 and #5? I was thinking of a little surprise for mon copin la bas.
