quality tubesets have a different "feel" than hi-tensile
it generally takes more pressure to get the same amount of movement
quality tubesets have a "lively" feel while hi-tensile sets feel more "dead"
also, Columbus for example tends to have a stiffer feel than Reynolds
Columbus SL/SP has a nominal tensile strength of 120,00PSI while Reynolds 531c is rated at 100,000PSI
these values are pre-brazing and there is typically some loss in tensile strength due to the heat of brazing
some framebuilders assert their tensile strength is about the same post brazing
hope this gives the sort of information you seek...

tip for John G. -
in case it is your wish to be able to run a 6V gear block on the Paramount i would like to let you know that there are such animals as 6V gear blocks in the lateral space of 5V
one such recalled is MAEDA's (Suntour) Ultra 6
these are likely covered at velobase and are also included in the Sutherland manuals in case you might wish to investigate them
