Rotating racquets & tension loss

I’ve had a problem with strings breaking using a few different multis, so last restring I tried a polyester (Zo Life). I’m satisfied with the feel and have no arm issues (yet), but I think my strings are to the point they should be replaced. After doing a lot of reading (mostly this forum) I ordered a couple of sets of SPPP 16 to try – I’m mainly interested in low power, tension maintenance and minimal string movement.

I would appreciat thoughts on the following:

(1) I have two identical frames (PK Ki15PSE). From a tension maintenance standpoint should I: (A)Have them both restrung and then alternate using them, or (B)Restring one & use it every time out, then when the strings are nearly done-for make it the backup and have the other frame restrung to use every time out? I’m guessing this might depend at least in part on how much tension loss is due to hitting and how much is due to time alone.

(2) Is there any difference in the way a given polyester string plays at a given tension (say 60) as compared to that same string after losing tension down to the same theoretical point (say it started at 64 but has loosened up the equivalent of 4 pounds)?

(3) Any suggestions on what to have the SPPP strung at for the first time? I’ve always used multis right at midrange for this frame (60).

TIA for all comments.
