Unless you’re climbing some very hard shit you don’t need some light 9.5 mm specialty rope for EPC. I climbed Timewave Zero (23 pitches, 5.12a) in EPC with a 70m 10.5 mm a few months back and have no complaints about doing so. If you’re going for durability and longevity I would get something in the 10's. Also remember once you hit the mid 9.x range you are looking at a much lower sharp edge resistance capability over your standard 10.5 which may be important as EPC does have a fair amount of sharp rock.
