Your existing D'add Extra Lights are 10-47 which certainly is extra-light for an acoustic guitar. I'd be inclined to use something heavier, but do you like the sound and tension of them?

I use different string gauge depending on scale length.
650mm scale length = 11s Custom Light 628mm scale length = 12s Light
I did try a gauge lower on the 650mm scale length, but the sound did suffer a bit. Was easier to play though!

that's the problem do I play easier or have better sound ?
Is there a big difference between 10s and 12s in sound and finger pressure when playing ? Since I've been on extra lights and can play a bit more than when I started should I make the change is the question!
