I used to have lower action but recently bought a new saddle and moved it up to 2.9mm on the high E and 3.5 on the low E.

Before I wouldn't have used the medium tension CXs, but now with this new action I quite liked them. They even performed well when tuned down in Open D, G, and DADGAD.

The High E in the High Tension set is just too much tension for me.
