I've had the exact same thought. I spent the vast majority of my adult life saving for retirement and not buying all the things on my wish list - like most people.

I have not tried these strings yet, but like SUS on my Lowden.

I Like Martin Retro's on my Martin at $6 for easily 3 months. These strings would be three times as much. Ouch. But is it really a big ouch? $4 a month more means virtually nothing to my wallet.

If I told you a better sounding guitar was available for $4 a month more would you jump on that deal? Would I be crazy to consider spending an additional $4 a month on a guitar that cost me many thousands of dollars?

Now if you like the cheaper strings just as much that's a no-brainer. But I think sometimes we tend to lose some perspective for not much money.
