Default collections and string tension

I have a collection of acoustic guitars almost all with medium gague D'Adarrio's. Some don't get played much, others a lot. I have lowered the tension down half a step on those that don't get played and now I am lowering the tension on all of them to try and delay possible neck re-sets. what are others doing that have guitars that don't get played a lot? thx Jeff B

Sounds right to me. I also use lighter strings and like them just fine. Some would scoff but less tension means less tension. Of course humidity and temp control.
