    I don't have the tension table (d'Addario's) at hand, but are you certain that the tension of an 11 E1 corresponds to that of a 12 E1 tuned down a whole tone? I'd have sworn that tuning down a whole step reduced the tension by (much) more...

    Much as I like the sound of the AC111s I'm currently using, I do begin to notice their limits in terms of dynamic range (esp. in drop-D).

    Yes, I'm certain. The rule of thumb is about a half gauge per half step or a whole gauge per whole step.
