If you want the same diameter but less stiff material that is easier for legatos, la bella has the 2001 light tension, NOT the flamenco black version. From RC strings there is the sonata light, which is a bit stiffer than the 2001 but not as stiff as the 820. To some guitars the 820 sound a bit thin to others just perfect. If you want brighter trebles, but easy to play and legato try the Alma Vicente amigo solera flamenca set, but the basses turn bad in a week. Have you tried fluorocarbon? Much brighter and easier for pull offs, thinner diameter than nylon. I personally never play fluorocarbon but for many people, for their playing and guitars are just perfect. Fluorocarbon are the alliance trebles of Savarez, the FF sets from daddario, the Vivace from la Bella, the CX from Knobloch(that people say they are warmer too). The easiest legato I have ever experienced was with Aquila ambra 2000 light tension trebles that are quite thin but not brittle as the fluorocarbon. Their basses are not quite suitable for flamenco, so if you want to try them find only the trebles.
