Double Bass Corelli 370 or 380?

The M and TX are equal tension or even a bit lighter towards the lower strings, the F get a little bit more tension towards the lower strings and are a bit more popular (except playing classical solo literature). The F only exists with the 370 series, no 380F.

The 370 are brighter and the lower strings thinner, the 380 are more normal.

I have the 380M, but I dislike the low tension on the lower strings (or higher tension on the higher strings).
