Any suggestions on how to compare the tension?


If you have a clear line-of-sight between the two cables, tie a cord
between them at the same point on each cable. Tighten the cord enough
that both cables deflect slightly. Give the cord a good tug in the
center and let it snap back into place to eliminate any bias you might
have made when you were tying it. If both cables deflect the same
amount then the tension is even. If one deflects more it has lower
tension.
