I've been using #65 832 suffix for the last year and a half, I always loved PP50. I lost some good fish to rocks with the PP, haven't lost one yet to one the rocks with the suffix65. My cast distance has been reduced to this switch.
That being said, Fireline Original Fused might be the way to go. The #30 fireline acts like braid in terms of sensitivity but more like mono in terms of abrasion resistance. It's the equivalent of #65 braid diameter about 0.35mm. I suppose there is a break-in period, but I have not been able to get past a few outtings without hating it. I think I will give it one more go before I swear it off forever, some swear by it. I swear at it.
Want to add that #30 fireline fused breaks in the real world well past #50 braids of almost all brands.
Here are a few specs I found online, and actual breaking strengths
Berkley Fireline Original #30(listed) Dia 0.36mm actual break strength 89#
Power Pro #50 Dia 0.36mm actual break strength 60.8#
PP SuperSlick #50 Dia 0.32mm actual break strength 62.6#
Suffix832 #50 Dia 0.34mm actual break strength 75.2#
