I would just like to add that before someone says that because the strands are smaller, there is less waste space (ie. more copper in the wire) they are incorrect. Overall a wire with 660 strands will have the same cross sectional area as a wire with 1660. Can explain why if you want - just a bit of simple maths...

Actually, since there are less strands but the same guage, isn't each individual wire bigger diameter? That would mean there is more space between each cross-section of the less standed wire right? That's one of the reasons why most hi-power speaker coils use edge-wound wires.
I realize any differences will be quite small to be just about negligible, but I'm just curious. :)
