Being setup specifically for D is a big help too. I notice the difference in feel but I haven't been blistering. That's because there is still a lack of tension from being tuned down to D. If I had heavies set for 'E' I would definitely feel it.
The sound is fatter too - the open D a real earthshaker!

Glad to hear that I could be of some assistance, also glad to hear that you like the heavies!  They sure do make a hell of a difference in terms of tension and tone. It's not really a 'thicker' tone, just heavier and more 'in your face'... hard to explain, you have to hear it to understand. But compared to light or medium gauge, they can blow the hair off your balls at high volumes  Not to mention that RotoSounds have a fucking awesome tone! Well worth the $$$ in my opinion.
Cheers man
