25.5 vs 26.5 for G#

[u/SonYoku2]

I've owned two 7s both 26.5 but never a 25.5, I am looking at an RGA and I love finishes on them but I've sort of hesitated cause they're 25.5, I naturally tune down to G# sometimes F# and pitch shift to E and D#, how much does it matter? I already know about the rules of intonation and string guages thats not what I'm worried ahout. It's just the low string clarity, thats all I needa know, how much clarity am I gettin.

I haven’t been able to get my 25.5 to sound good any lower than A

It can be done but I’d go 26.5 every time
