Cool humm..

The G and D of the RMML are slightly heavier than the G and D of the TCRM. The A and E of the TCRMs are heavier by one full gauge. The Bs are as well a gauge apart, the TCs being heavier.

The TC A, E and B although heavier will sit lower on the saddle because of the partial string diameter of the tapered string. This will require a bridge adjustment. The G and D you might leave or raise slightly. The Neck will be pulling move evenly actually but slightly heavier so a neck adjustment might be in order.

All in all, don't move things around that much. Just minor tweaks rather than over shooting the adjustments and missing center like a bad golfer trying to get the ball in the hole. Just tap it in..
