It's kinda hard to test with RC dischargers, since they conduct heat into the wires. But cheap 12g wire melted right off my discharger. Deans 12g holds fine.
Fine multistrand can carry more current. Generally its because its simply a better, more expensive wire with highet quality metal. I have no doubt of this as frequency increases.
Science can poo poo it. But in the field, the stranded stuff is noticeably better, unless low frequency DC.
