It's great to have another option.. obviously Elixirs are controversial and have a love/hate. These could be the same but they don't have a coating to worry about fraying.
It doesn't seem ridiculous to me, and my guitar was only $600. The thing about "these are for players with multiple $3000 martins" is funny cause that usually seems like the core audience on this forum.

Yes, what kills wound strings is gunk getting in the wrap and corrosion-and nickel corrodes just by looking at it. I don't understand why an uncoated, nickel wrap should perform any differently, irrespective of the core material.
