{loi prenu} means {lo gunma be lo prenu}. If you reckon the latter is
correct, you would think the former is correct too.

That's a comparison between different ways of expressing a mass,
whereas "Where should I use sets and where should I use masses?" is
asking for a comparison between set expressions & mass expressions in
the same places:

( loi / lo'i ) prenu cu sruri lo dinju -- which gadri?

Do you mean
"Why {lo'i tirxu cu cmalu} and not {so'u tirxu}?"
or
"Why {lo'i tirxu cu cmalu} and not {so'u tirxu cu cmalu}?"
or
"Why {lo'i tirxu cu cmalu} and not {loi tirxu cu so'u mei}?"
?
