If I had only tried them on my all-mahogany guitar, I would have said nearly the same thing, except I would have also said they were such a high tension as to be almost unplayable. (The guitar in question has a 25.5" scale length.)
I think the Reds have a really interesting and useful sound, but they're distinctive, which is a double-edged sword. And they certainly don't work in all guitars.
I'm not trying to poo poo your opinion -- at all -- just noting that because one doesn't like a particular string only means they aren't worth a given price to you.
