16x18 vs. 18x20 for better volleys?

[indyfob2008]

Some racquets have 2 different string patterns available. In this case, i.e., which racquet do you think is better for volleys - an open pattern such as 16x18 or the more dense racquet (ie 18x20)?

[lookin for better feel and touch at the net for doubles, while I am a baseliner in my singles matches]...

Does anyone play 2 different racquets? one for singles, one for doubles? I have considered doing this, just wondering if anyone else out there has tried it...

Theoretically the dense string pattern would have a more consistent string bed for better feel on volleys. But I don't think it really matters, I play a hefty 16X19 and it's excellent on volleys, I'm comfortable at net due to the good mass.
