Yep, GBP 42-99 a set at Strings Direct - for you US-ians, that's around 55 bucks! I hated the stone-dead sound of those Monels, there's no way I'm blowing £42-99 on a set of duff-sounding strings just because they last a long time!

I can buy three sets of Elixir PBs for about the same as one set of titaniums, they should last at least as long, and sound better. End of story, AFAIC.

Usual disclaimers apply......IMHO, YMMV etc.
