That's right, Dave- which means that a 3 adjusted down to 2.5 is thinner and really cannot play the same as a "real" 2.5. Which is better is up to you, but they're different. That will even happen with the variation within a box all the "same" strength after you adjust them all to play with similar resistance, some will be thinner than others. It is what it is.

My current anecdotal evidence suggests that Vandoren blue box 3's adjusted softer chirp less than 2.5's with less or no adjustment. Repeatability is so elusive.
