LOL on the "macho stuff." I think people should just use what they like and works best for them. For me, 10s just sound better than lighter gauges. I never switched because so and so uses a particular gauge. I just experimented with different brands and gauges and kept buying/using what I found felt good to my fingers and sounded good to my ears.
