Lux BB Alu Power Vs. Lux BB Alu Power Rough

I was thinking about trying one of these for a full poly setup. I'm looking for a string with a lot of spin and control with low power, a string i can take a full swing at it and not pray that it will go in.

I've been considering Luxilon BB Alu Power or Luxilon BB Alu Power Rough.

What's the difference between these two strings? Which is better?

They are made of the same material. Rough makes more spin due to its
kind of ridges.
Some people say that Alu Rough loses tension more quickly.

It's hard to state the difference since I've heard so much but many studies claim that rough surfaces provide a negligible amount of spin on a ball. Whatever floats your boat I guess, Federer uses it but personally I'd take ALU Power. The Rough looks like the ALU Power but bumpy, almost like badly made ALU but I guess not.
