Using a heavier than normal (light being some what normal but what is normal anyway?) Should increase the tone of the guitar, and the strings shouldn't go dead as fast unless you are oozing acid from your fingers.
But the short comings of using a heavier weight string is that you can put more stress on the neck, barre chords are harder, and you need more finger strength.
I use Extra Lights 10's and what I call in betweens 11's. Since my fingers strength isn't what it used to be.
