263 vs. 266

Somehow I aquired both of these brushes, they look exactly the same and feel the same. why does mac have two brushes that are so similar?

263 is smaller and, in my experience, a tad firmer/thicker.

Really? There's a pretty big difference to me. The 266 is far too thick for me, while the 263 is just about perfect. The 263 is definitely thinner, which is a necessity for girls like me, who've got smaller eyes.

236 is thicker in my opinion
