Question Martin 000-28: String Gauge?

I have a friend with a relatively new Martin 000-28. He has traditionally played with light guage strings (12-16-24-32-42-52).

But after playing my guitar with mediums (13-17-26-35-45-56), he really liked the feel and tone. He asked if his 000-28 was capable of utilizing that gauge. I am no Martin expert, so I thought I would ask here on AGF.

Anyone have expericence/knowledge of the 000-28? Is it ok w/ mediums?

Also, if not mediums, would "bluegrass" (12-16-25-35-45-56) be a good compromise for that guitar?

Thanks in advance.
