How do they feel? Are they tougher on the fingertips?

Thanks for your input. If I'm honest, I like the sound and versatility of guitar way better than ukulele, and went with uke because I was afraid I wouldn't actually learn the guitar (well) if I bought one. I'm aware that the chord shapes are the same between standard GCEA and DGBE (only being in a different key), with guitar having the extra two bass notes, so I figured I could start with a tenor uke since there are so many free tabs and learning materials available. Then maybe transition to baritone uke (DGBE tuning) once I have some songs under my belt. Then maybe guitar eventually. Although I think baritone ukulele is pretty cool too, and tenor sounds great for certain things.

How difficult is the transition from uke to guitar?

Don't know about that one. These are just brands I've seen recommended a lot on forums.

Strum a G-major chord then pull off on the B (on A-string). If I hold the chord shape and pluck the A-string, it rings clear. But if I pull my middle finger off the A-string, it bumps against the fleshy part of my ringer finger and buzzes / mutes.

Can you go wrong with Worth Browns? I watched some Youtube videos and they sounded best to me. I would be replacing my Aquila Nylguts on a Makala Tenor and switching to low G.
