They don't slowly die either, they stay the same for quite a while then die. To me a great reasonably priced string.
See, I experienced the opposite and I bet DR would describe them differently. I thought the Sunbeams were bright and rich (hence the name) and the Rares were a warmer, more traditional, PB string with better playability (than standard PBs). The Sunbeams played really easily but both felt great compared to most brands.

I rather liked everything I tried by DR but Elixirs last so long and DRs require some extra care.
