I don't know about phosphor bronze sets, but I use these on one of my electro-acoustics.

The equivalent 10s use a 20w. I can't see a set with an 18w.

B-)
I suspect that Rotosound is a confusingly labelled plain steel 18 from a phosphor bronze set. Plain strings are always steel.

A wound string is a (thin) steel core with a (thin, phosphor bronze) wind. It's less dense, there's some gaps in between the windings in there even though the overall maximum diameter might be the same.
In the post above, ICBM estimates the tension of a 22w would be equivalent to a 16 or 17 plain. That seems about right to me.
So a 20w might be as taut as a 14 or 15 plain.
