Comparing Jagwire stainless to Jagwire nickel, it's easier to change pitch on the stainless wound string. That means that your pedal and knee lever movement can be shorter/easier.
Before you assume that that is a good thing, remember that it also means that tuning problems such as cabinet drop are also a little worse with stainless strings.
I think the difference is about 20% (no very much).

I've been using Jagwire nickel wound strings on my Mullen for some time now. Great strings. I just tried a set of Jagwire stainless wound strings and love them even more. The wound strings have a bit more crispness in tone.

There are only two options as I see it.
Either I'm right, or there is a sinister conspiracy to conceal the fact that I'm right.
