I like those too, especially the high e string.

Ive been following two threads, this one and one on CG action. Since I really come from the Acoustic steel string world, I like low action…I gained a lot of information on the CG action thread on how low people go.
So doesn’t using high tension strings allow you to have lower action with less potential for buzzing..? Since I like low action, it seems I should avoid low tension …

I think it's a fair generalization that you can get a lower buzz-free action with a higher tension CG string, though it's really down to the particular guitar, setup, and player.
Many players coming from steel-string prefer fluorocarbon trebles, I think.
