I tend to gravitate more to how I like the feel of the thread while tying or some other property like being able to flatten the thread. Naught designations are so meaningless as to diameter:
Benecchi 12/0-70 denier
Danville 6/0-70 denier
Uni 8/0-72 denier
Gordon Griffith Sheer 14/0-72 denier
Danville Monocord 3/0-116 denier
Benecchi 10/0-120 denier
Thus the first 4 threads(from 6/0 to 12/0) are almost the same size and of the last 2- 3/0 is actually smaller than 10/0.

That is very interesting. After tying a lot with Uni 8/0, I used some 6/0 Danville recently and it definitely seemed not to build up as much on the hook. I am looking forward to trying the Benecchi thread.

Interesting indeed. Being less than smart, I assumed the Griffiths and Benicchi were much smaller diameter than the UNI 8/0. They must lay down flat as I wind as they certainly dont bulk up like the UNI. Perhaps its all in my head, and I just like new toys to play with.

It is not all in your head, the Uni is semi-bonded which prevents it from flattening. A wrap of each puts the same total amount of material around the hook , you may just spread it around a larger surface.
It is best to place thread wraps side to side which binds the materials down rather than additional thread wraps on top of each other that add little to hold the materials to the hook.

No I'm not hosting it. That would be way far beyond my tech boundary.
sorry.

The Benicchi thread arrived today, which is fast considering I ordered it Monday morning. I will try to test it out tomorrow morning.

Gudebrod 10/0 = around 270g Veevus is new to me and may not be available here in the US but its tensile strength is facinating.
UTC 70 = around 453g
Benecchi 10/0 = around 680g
http://veevus.dk/en/content/7-breaking-strength
veevus 10/0 = around 800g
Benecchi 12/0 = around 450g Has anyone used it?
veevus 12/0 = around 530g
Griffiths 14/0 = around 450g
veevus 14/0 = around 520g
UNI 17/0 = around 114g
Danville 16/0 Spider Web = around 141g
veevus 16/0 = around 430g
