Strings Dilemma

Hello fellas, Forgive me for posting this question here, but I'm kinda lazy to register at different site since I know many of ya play some musical instrument. I recently decided to jazzify my Takamine EG544SC purchasing light action strings and practice jazz sequences.012-.053.
After replacing my medium action strings I noticed that my action haven't become any 'lighter' vs. the one before.
Does it make an action difference between brands even if the gauge is the same? I've always bought strings 'on sale' and changed them pretty often 'cos I love the fresh crispy sound of new strings and they all sounded AWESOME on this guitar without even paying attention to a brand purchased... Please also read the next my follow-up...

Marakanetz,
Have you not purchased this 'brand' of strings previously?
Maybe these strings just plainly do suck.
As an Alto Sax player, I would get reccommendations about reeds and mouthpieces, 'wonderful' etc. only to discover that they were not up to my standards...one person's treasure, or 'action' is another annoyance.
Why, out of curiousity did you buy these? Someone you respect reccommended them?
