Question To Lian About A Fitting Power Metal Tuning. Options

[Cingen]

Hey there Lian!

In a few weeks I'm getting my guitar set up professionally by a very good Luthier.. But I'm in doubt about the actual tuning I should get it set up for. I'm mainly doubting between D standard and Eb standard tuning. I really love the D standard tuning heavyness, but I'm afraid it might not be 'tight' enough compared to Eb for alot of power metal stuff in the styles of Kamelot, I seriously LOVE that percussive palm muted sound:p

So I'm here to ask you, if I get my guitar setup for D standard using a 0.10-0.52 set of strings, do you think I'll lose tightness compared to Eb standard? Asking you since you seem to be the expert around here on symphonic and power metal;)

The guitar has a floyd rose so I really need to get it set up for a single tuning and keep it like that:p

Thanks in advance!
