RPX / Ghostwire (Multi/Poly) Tension?

Rookie
I’ve been loving VS Gut 1.30 / Ghostwire 1.27 in my 18x20 speed pro at 55/50 (thanks for folks on here who help me discover that setup!). That said, while I’ve pretty much ruled out full poly, I’m curious to try one more option - RPX 1.35 mains with same cross.

Q: Given I like Gut/Poly at 55/50 what should I tension Multi/Poly at? How much difference Main vs Cross? (I’m thinking 53-55 for mains and 48-50 for cross, say 54/49).

Additional data points:
- If I were doing full bed Poly I’d string 48/46 (but even FireWire boost gives me some connective ti tissue soreness so that’s probably not in my future).
- If I were doing full bed Velocity I would string 55/53 (really didn’t like it at 51/49 - balls were flying).
 
my experience with triax, whichis similar to rpx, was slightly less power than velocity, but only slightly. maybe 52−54? good luck.
 
I ended up doing RPX/Gtour3 @ 52/49 in my speed pro 18x20. Lasted 15 hours but I didn’t love it — gtour3 is too soft to pair with a multi main. Correct tension would have been 53/50. I would try it again with RPX/Ghostwire perhaps or a try something like 4G soft.

I also did RPX / hawk in my speed Mp 16x19 and it played amazing. But lasted only 4 hrs so a no go. I strung it at 55/52 which was perfect (I string poly at 52/52).
