Default strings for lead acoustic.

hi all..

im in an acoustic blues 3 piece. playing the lead stuff.
so that means lots of bends and fast playing (well fast for me anyway ).

i use .010s on my acoustic... but i cant get anywhere near the speed or pitchbend level that i can using .010s on my electric.

in fact i have taken to using my line 6 variax electric cos it has a very passable acoustic sound and is SO much more playable....

but its not the same as pure acoustic... any tips on how to get the guitar more "playable" from a blues lead perspective..??

moving to .009s for example?? or is that just too light for acoustics?? do they even do them?

any tips would be very welcome.

thanks
D
