Coated strings for X-20?
So my long awaited X-20 arrived today. Unfortunately, I'm one of those guys who can rust out non coated strings in a matter of hours. What coated options have you guys found that work well on the x-20?

My favorite strings on the X20 were the Elixir Phosphor-Bronze in 12-53

I've tried others, but always come back to the same as Tøf: Elixir PB Lights (12-53). Sound great, last a long time.

Never played an Emerald, but I quite like Ernie Ball Paradigm Phosphor Bronze strings (12-54) on my RainSong OM.

I've been getting very good results with Martin Retros (Monel) on my X20. They last forever and sound great.
Also Curt Mangan monels seem equally good (but those are more expensive than the Martin's and I can't necessarily say they are better ... at least I tried them and now know ...) |

Don’t have an Emerald yet, but the Martin lifespan phosphor bronze are great on my RainSong jumbo.

I tried a set of Martin Lifespan PB on my X20 and was underwhelmed... back to the Elixirs for me.
