Flats Tension? (5-string set question also)

What company makes flats with tension similar to tapewounds?(Fender tapewounds if it makes a difference) I use Chromes and the Fenders and i love both but Chromes feel a bit higher tension and i don't really like that. (Also, a 5-string set is a must) [http://www.juststrings.com/rts-rs775ld.html thoughts?]

Roto flats are rather famous for being high tension.

I'm looking for lower tension.

For lower tension try the LaBella flats (The 760FL-B set with the 043 G string). I love these, but I only play the 4 string set, so I don't know how good their B is.

If you want really low tension (a little too low for me), try the Thomastik-Infeld flats.
