I have had a set of monels on a small bodied all hog guitar for over a year now. Apart from the "edge" being knocked off the tone after the first few hours I don't think that they have changed much at all.
I have had the same set of pure nickel strings on my dobro for 5 years and they are still OK.
I'm not sure that you will get a dramatic change in tone buy leaving those strings on. You will simply get used to playing with them after a couple of weeks.
