Range advantage, meaning and implications

Well, in every videos we heard about range avantage on certain board and it's an important factor to decide how we want play our range.The obvious point is having a range advantage "allow" us to be more aggressive and vice versa checking more when not.

But what we really looking for ?
- simply equity R vs R ? and what is a big range advantage in equity (5%, 10%, ...)
- nuts combos (that we have and vilain doesn't) ...

Had run quickly some numbers and sometime we have an equity advantage but vilain has more nuts combos.

exemple 1 (just to illustrate, far from accurate)

hero open in sb 50%
vilain flat in bb (60% ! x%3bet)
on T66r >>> sb 53% equity but about only 5% trips+ and vilain (bb) has about 10% trips+

exemple 2 (opposite scenario)

hero 3bet in bb vs vilain otb
3bet 12% (99+, AQ+, KQ+ and "bluff")
vilain call/def 16% (66-TT, broadways, good suited ...) (4bet all AA and JJ)
on AJT hero 45% vilain 55% but hero have 17% set+ (vilain only 10%)

So what are the important points and how to use that.
I mean for exemple in cb spot on some flop we want to make a small cb (0.33-0.5% pot) with a high frequency and in other spots using big cb at lower frequency. I probably do an ok job at recognize those spots (mostly by experience) but I would like to have better understanding of why. Because it's the only way to use it smart in other spots (or other games). I think we can explain a lot by studying equity graph but not sure how to do it.
