I think once your ear gets used to PB strings or 80/20, the silk and steel wound strings sound very mellow.
I too have used them on one of my 12 strings, and I like the results. Quiet and soft-sounding. I've heard some folks like to record with them because they're very responsive in a studio environment. Live, they just don't have the punch.
