Anybody put 9s on an SE HBII?

My old Strat copy has 9s, and my SE Chris Robertson has 9s ... and I'm definitely noticing the extra tension of the 10s on the SE HBII. I notice that pRS puts 9s on all their SEs except the HBs, so I wonder if there's a reason for that? Is the thicker string driving the top more, helping create the HB character?

Or is just one of those things they do because they decided to do it.

Curious if anyone has noticed a change beyond more slinkiness from 9s.
 
I put 9s on both of the Core HBII that I have owned. Thinking about adding a 594 HB. Would put 9s on that as well.
 
I have 9.5’s on my SE Hollowbody piezo. I do think Hollowbodies respond better with heavier strings. At me age, 9.5 is as far up as my hands allow.
