What tension would you class the La Bellas, and what the Fenders?

I know tension's probably the wrong word but i find he LaBellas to be stiffer than the Fenders. It'a also the material... both are steel, but the Fender's feel different... more pliable.

Last time i put short scale flats, I used long scale cut down. You lose the taper but they fitted the tuners OK. 105 gauge did not fit on the post too well, but 100 was OK. my reason: more easily available and much cheaper. They were XL Chromes. TI flats are lower tension than XL, I have them both on a long scale. No idea on Fender.

It's for a Dano shortscale, cut down longscale's won't fit as the tuners are basically guitar tuners which I'd rather not change or drill.
