1 week ago, i restrung my Ti10 (3rd gen) with NBG98 26lbs and AT900P with BG66 Sharp 26lbs.

For my Ti10 (3rd gen), i feel NBG98 (26lbs) > BG66 (26lbs), NBG98 provides better power, control and durability (i suppose).

For my AT900P, i feel BG80 (28lbs) > BG66S (26lbs), i feel BG80 provides better power and louder sound when i hit hard, but BG66S does provide slightly better control at front court, i am not sure it is due to the lbs difference or the string performance.

However, this is only my personal feel to the strings combined with the racket and lbs.

Note: NBG98 and BG66 both are 0.66 diameter string; whereas BG80 and BG66S both are 0.68 diameter string. I purposely strung larger diameter string with my AT900P to protect the racket coz it is 2nd hand racket strung with high lbs before.

For your extra info, the price of the strings in JB Honly:
BG66 (RM25)
BG80 (RM30)
NBG98 (RM45)
BG66S (RM45)

Thanks a lot! I can understand fully your experience. You must be a hard hitter I suppose, since you find the BG80 and NBG98 which both are stiffer strings than the BG66 and BG66 Sharp more responsive for power play.

By the way I would like to add (for those who are interested) that it is possible to find the BG65 Power at a cheaper price than both the NBG98 and BG66S if your local dealer stocks up on it, since the market price is lower than the two mentioned.
