LaBella 760FX vs. LTF's

I've always liked TI flats, and right now I have them on an old Ibanez SR300 that a guy gave me a while back. I haven't played it much, because I don't find it exciting, but I had a friend do some setup work on it, such as fixing high frets, and it's not bad. Preamp is not exciting, but it's an OK bass. When I was playing 5 string, I tried TI flats on my ESP RB2005(I think that's the model number), and didn't think they sounded great, so I put LaBella LTF's on it and it sounded great.

All that to say that I'm looking at putting flats on my '90 Jazz Bass Plus (not string thru body) and wondering if I should try LaBella 760FX or get LTF's. I like low tension, and I think both of these sets qualify. And today on Amazon, they're exactly the same price. I'm already pretty sure that I would like the LTF's, but I've never tried the 760FX.

Thoughts?
