Wow you guys use light strings for low tunnings. You guys should try a slightly higher gauge which will prevent detunage and a tighter sound so your strings arnt all slacky. I use 11s for all tunnings.

its easier to solo with light strings. And using 11's for standard can mess up the neck. I once tried 13s one. Wow, that fucked up my guitar.

If by feeling you mean the power of being able to bend the strings extremely far...thats because your fingers arn't strong enough. By playing with low gauges like 8 and 9s, your fingers dont develope to much strengh. (I mean this in a non insulting way)

I don't know how you guys play with them that loose... 10's and tuned standard, may be going to 11s.
