The core wires and the unwrapped wires are pretty much all the same. The wraps, the treatments, etc. are all different. Roger has a great white paper on this which hopefully you can find on the SUS website.
BUT - as was told to me by Dana Bourgeois (in person), when I was asking many similar questions: "Experiment - if you like it, then use it!"

PS - Roger Siminoff's take: "About 50% of the difference in tone we hear from one string acoustical instrument to another is the result of the musiclan's attack."
