From that, I take it you'd go with the solid metal ground rather than
the stranded version. I read that the #12 gauge versions of each are not
created equal w.r.t. capacity--and that they are not equal in a lot of
other ways too.


Sorry, Bill, but you just proved that Mike might have had it right.
Overvoltage and capacity (amperage) are two entirely different things
and you don't seem to grok the difference, which can be dangerous.
Be careful!
