A word to the wise, different brands of "PLA+" are not the same filament. There is no standard or even consensus on what qualifies a particular polymer alloy as "PLA+" and thus every manufacturer does their own thing and just calls it whatever they feel like. The same is true for "PLA Pro" and "PLA Extreme" or "PLA Tough" or whatever other monikers you can find.
I would not be at all surprised to find some unscrupulous vendor selling just ordinary PLA and calling it "PLA+" just for marketing purposes (a.k.a. lying about it).
Thanks a lot for for corroborating the issue. Indeed, I am aware that labeling could be blurry since everyone keeps the blends used for their filament secret. This is the reason why I am interested in knowing if someone collected the numbers. Being able to compare Elastic Modulus, Elongation at Break, etc. could solve the problem of having to use the labels when picking a filament (considering also the cost $$). PLA+ was just an example, where everyone says that it's "more though" than "ordinary PLA", which I could translate with "less brittle". However, without absolute numbers the information contained in such statements is laughable.
Without numbers, either I just wait to have a bit of experience with different filaments, or I will need watch all those videos with users printing hooks and running tensile test on them.
