Hi Roe:
Like I said in another post today--- primary L is important--- very important--- but not singularly important. There are 436 other factors\variables that you must also optimize to get a good to great output transformer.
On many of our products we do not publish L numbers for many, many reasons.
What your safe in assuming is that nickel will have greater L than a nickel pinstripe which will likewise have greater L than M4 which itself will have greater L than M6.
Of greater import (at least in our designs--- which will have adequate L unless otherwise stated) is that the choice of lamination types is best made from a subjective point of view--- not a solely technical bench derived measurement--- and here it is personal experience and preference that will come into play. We have some customers who love nickel--- others who prefer M4 and yet others who swear by nickel pinstripe.
Each sounds a bit different--- each has it's own colours--- their own strengths sonically--- and unless your willing to marry the girl I pick out for you (smiles here) then you need also to explore and learn of your own sonic preferences in terms of core materials and etc.
