In the days before its invention, fret ends could be a real, uhm, pain. Fret installation technique will also take you a long way, but sometimes only so far.
I use the EVO fretwire and love it. I assume you got it from LMI who ships ir coiled, which saves the issue of have to pre-radius it. I've had no trouble with its springiness as far as installation goes. A firm hand on the hammer and it will stay put just fine.
