I find tying strings at the bridge annoying as well. While I'm perfectly capable, I prefer to use what they call "String-Tie Beads" or "Bridge Beads".
One basically makes his or her own ball-ends by tying a bead to the end of each string. Tying a bead is way easier than tying a bridge knot, I'd say I cut out 5 minutes of time by using them. It's not as easy as just getting a ball-end set of strings, but this way one can use whatever strings he or she prefers.
