Re: PLA+ vs tough PLA

You should be fine. compare the temperature specs on each roll.
I have a sample of PRO pla, basically the same as pla+ the only difference is the pro pla has a low temp of 210 instead of  200  you may need to boost temp 5 or 10 degrees. A different color can change temp that much.

IMHO try it and see you almost always need to adjust something with a new roll anyway.
