Should I get used to the higher tension strings or change to softer?

I got a new guitar. It came with Knobloch EDC34.0 which are apparently Medium/High tension. My previous guitar had Knobloch ADQ33.0 which is Medium. The difference feels huge for some reason and some things feel more difficult on these strings.

Is there any advantage to getting used to higher tension or should I swap them for lower tension?

Footstool is uncomfortable for me so I am looking to get a leg support. I don’t want to have to take it off every time I put the guitar in the case. Are there foldable options that stay on? I can’t find anything which might be because I am not searching with the correct words.

We have been trying out an “AI powered” data visualization and analytics tool. The idea is that stakeholders can ask questions based on the data models we created and get answers

It doesn’t work. And it doesn’t look like it will work. Not because the AI is weak; but because the stakeholders aren’t good at self service. The higher level stakeholders have no clue what to ask. They can never be sure the answer is correct. The best use case is “hey the AI gave me this number can you confirm?”

It is no shade on the stakeholders. We work with the data all day long so it is easy for us to ask the right questions and understand the answers. They don’t. Data is only a fraction of their daily work. They just don’t have the familiarity to operate self service.

Every tool has its weaknesses; but currently these self service tools are trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist. Do you have any experiences?

I have been learning for a little over 1.5 years. I average over an hour daily so it is safe to say this is a hobby.

I have my ~€300 guitar that I took to a local luthier for a setup. I have no experience with other guitars so I am not sure if what I have is good or not.

I have been casually looking online for an upgrade. I came across Siccas Guitars and was thinking their cheapest guitar at ~€1200 could be an upgrade for me. They say they set it up nicely so I wouldn’t have to take it to a luthier either. But I only want to get it if it will help me in my learning journey. Not interested in it as a shiny object.

So, based on your experience, is this a logical step? What should I expect if I make the upgrade?
