String tension and "tautness"

Most would play those only if tuned down a whole step or more.

Meant for BEAD tuning. Even DGCF is kind of pushing it. Most would use 130 for low B.

And that as well. I don’t play in genre that requires dropped tunings but if I did I would not want to play in C or C# with a typical 45-105 set. I’d bump up to a higher gauge. But that might also require some work on the nut to accommodate it.

To me, I only notice on the E and G.
G thinner, brittler tone
E thicker, more mud and boom.

But you may want those.

But agree feel is #1 here
