Every view is valid when the discussion is around how something sounds. I went from .012 to.011 strings on a guitar over the course of a festival, having played in a band on the Friday night and again Sunday afternoon. I thought the sound improved but Dick Gaughan, who let's admit, has an ear for such things, said my guitar didn't sound as nice as the other night. Flattered that he noticed to be honest.

Same with this. We can discuss the technical ins and outs all day. Some of us can input the physics, some can talk intonation and playability.

But beauty remains in the ear of the beholder.
