0.011" is higher than I'd go for continuous long-term tension on a canted soundboard. The only way to really find out for your individual instrument is the hard way.

I'm familiar with their existence. Unfortunately, I've never tried them to form an opinion. My favorites on Neapolitan-type mandolins are Dogal's "Calace" brand carbon steel, which are gauged only slightly lighter than what you've listed for Black Label.
Ah, I should have checked, but Dogal specs don't seem widely available. If you try the Black Label, I am curious for your impressions.
