What polys can I get in 1.10 mm (or less) thickness?

Yeah, I could have included Lux Ace in that list, because it's only 0.02 mm thicker, but more than that is not of my interest, for what I have in mind.
If you get to playtest all these, I would be very interested in finding out which is the most arm-friendly.

I have some experience with TiMo 1.10. It's a control (and a very good one at that) oriented string and not very arm friendly. From what I've read, the other two are, actually, very arm friendly. I want to playtest MSV Hex 1.10 and Polyfibre Hightec 1.10 at the same time. Again, from what I've read, MSV Hex has the edge (pun intended) on spin and tension maintenance. Yes, I've read that Polyfibre Hightec is very stretchy and loses quite a bit of initial tension, but we'll see...
Edit: However, that last description sounds very familiar to what I used to read about Topspin Poly Polar before I tried it and everyone knows how much I ended liking that string. So, yes, we'll see

Your description of MSV is spot on. I have it strung in my k95 18x20, and after being strung for a few weeks I can still hit with pace and not compromise control.
The spin available from the string is also quite high despite the dense pattern.

Ripper, you definitely have to post a review of MSV Focus Hex, I'm really interested.
I'm interested also in hearing about the MSV Hex. I picked up a couple sets on the trade thread in 1.10 but havent gotten around to string it up yet. I also picked up a set of the Polyfibre Hightec on the same thread and we really liked it but had only the one set to test. Really stretchy and durability was as expected (short lived) for the small diameter but performed really well. Definetely worth another try but still have waaaaay too many strings in my collection that we havent gotten around to trying out yet.
Wanting to hear more about MSV Focus Hex.
