Hybriding Solinco Confidential Mains with Kirschbaum PLE crosses?

Recently switched to a 2023 Radical MP and been thinking about hybridizing Confidential mains with PLE crosses. I'm currently using a full bed of Confidential @ 54lbs.

I was using a Blade 98 v8 before, and although I much prefer my current racquet, I miss some of the feel that my Blade had. I really like the bite and tension maintenance that Confidential provides, but it's a pretty dead string. From what I've read, PLE should provide more feel. Have any of you tried this combo (or something similar)?

Having tried PLE in a full bed, I don't think it provides much feel. In the Radical's, I would personally be dropping tension to 48lbs at the highest for more power, dwell-time and lift on the ball.
