    Is #80 alot more agressive then #82

    Recently, I purchased Dacp, #80, #7, #16. I planned on applying them in the same order listed above. My question is should I be using #82 vs. #80 after Dacp? I just realized #80 is more aggressive then #82 and possibly close to the level of #83. This might be a good question for you Mike. TIA
