Smaller gauges at the same tuning will move more if you were to play them identically, but that's not what happens because the player will quickly adjust the picking dynamics by picking with a softer "touch".
Maybe those who strike or "chop" at the strings won't really adjust to the tension change, but IMO most seasoned players will.
Even if the slightly looser strings do end-up moving more (again, that's up to the player's touch) they are also smaller which reduces the size of the vibration-loop.
Anyways, my point is that it basically evens-out, or if anything I can use just slightly lower action with smaller gauges.
