rscout,

I also want to try a thin skin base. What I do know is that the .08 one has injected hair but on the 0.03, the hair is V-looped because it is so thin.

I think you are talking about the monofilament bases. That was all that I wore for years and they were not bad. They did make a sound when you brushed them but were nowhere as light as the lace bases.
