Thin interior string

Thin interior string
I have been buying a lot of paracord but from a different vendor. I didn’t realize that there is a difference between paracord until I bought this pink one. They both have 7 stands inside but the thickness is much thicker on the other vendor. I have a picture of the interior string side by side. I also have the same braided rope with the different paracord. The black and white is so much thicker and sturdier than the pink.Depending on your project this might not matter.
