I do prefer low-tension strings. Like many here on the AGF, I have arthritic hands. Low tension strings let me play as long as I like, without too much pain. Another upside will be bends, when I get to those on my journey.
Glad to hear you like them. One day I'll get round to buying some and putting them on my mother-in-law's classical.
