I was on the verge of putting a set of medium guage mandolin strings on my new Republic metal mando:

Now, after reading the responses, I'm thinking about going with the mandola setup. Looking at the Elderly Instruments selection of mandola strings:

There seems to be a pretty large variance between what D'Addario considers light guage (.014 first string), and what GHS considers as light guage (.012 first string).
Since the scale on this mando is 15 1/8", I'm thinking the GHS would be my better choice. Am I right?
