      Interesting, flexibility is defined as the elongation due to a unit
load.  Flexibility is the inverse of stiffness.  By definition, this means
 that the flexibility is inversely proportional to the modulus of
elasticity.  Therefore, according to your statement, these different
 brands of wire have different values for their modulus of elasticity.
      I must assume that you got this information from a reliable
 source.  Would you please share that source.  What are the respective
 values for the modulus of elasticity for these different wire brands?

Thanks,
