halyard: compare sta-set x and sta-set x plus

[kentobin]

The line selector guide at New England Ropes recommended 11mm sta-set x for my halyards. When searching the web for a good price some sites only had sta-set x plus which wasn't even listed on New England Ropes website.

SPECS
size ----- wt 100ft ----- strength ------ cost
sta-set x
7/16" ---- 5.9 lbs ------ 7,400 lbs ---- $1.05/ft
sta-set x plus
7/16" ---- 5.4 lbs ------ 7,500 lbs ---- $1.75/ft

Aside from these specs I have no information on these lines so I would assume I'm getting the same handling characteristics for both lines with a weight savings of 0.5 lb/100ft for an additional $70/100ft.

Is there anyone out there with some hands on experience who can make any other comparisons?

Thanks in advance.
