I've had them on my Bourgeois for most of the year. To cut through the maketing hype, all of the strings are at the same tension creating a total tension of x. AFAIK, most other strings sets have graduated tensions and then they quote tension for the entire set. But the individual strings are different tensions.

Bottom line for me: they're more comfortable to play. Also, they last a long time - usually ten weeks plus.

I had a brief discussion about this today at WILs with Dana Bourgeois. In so many words, he advised me to experiment and use what you like. The subject of strings is so subjective and it's complicated by the phenomena of accommodation - by our ears and our fingers.
