The issue of finger fatigue may indicate the need for adjusting the set up, mainly the truss rod and saddle height. I feel that most electric players, if they have played acoustic guitar at all, should be able to picking up an acoustic again fairly quickly without any problem.

Could be a set up issue, but the action doesn't seem high to me. I can play electric all night without my fingertips hurting. But with acoustic, it's more like an hour. Probably it's just that I don't play acoustic for hours at a stretch these days.

I have a small parlor guitar, so the lighter strings might make sense anyway.
