120 B vs. 130 B

I'm liking a .120 B on my Spector (35 scale) better than a .130 Anyone else notice that a .120 sounds more defined and has just as much booty? BTW I'm using SS DR Low Riders.
Thoughts and comments welcome on your experiences.

I've never tried a .120 on my Lakie, but am always searching for ways to make the B better! So far, the D'Addario XL 45-130 set has been the best for me. I may try to snag a .120 single string to try.

In my experience on my 34" scale Sadowsky, the La Bella 128 Taper has blown away every other 125 or 130 B I have tried. In fact the 125 I tried was among the worse. But I think it has to do with a lot of other factors.

On my Q5, a 130 DA XL B was gold. And on my 34" scale L2500, the 130s worked marginally better than the 125s.
