I've tried Newtone. Great strings. But there isn't enough of a difference from the Sunbeams for my ears to fork over twice the money & extra shipping costs.

Thread bump. Any opinions to add to this debate?

I've been playing DR Rare lights, along with GHS PB and Vintage Bronze lights, so I decided to give the DR Sunbeams another try. Perhaps fitting to their name, the Sunbeams seem like a good choice, where you want to add a little more color to your sound. Kinda the opposite reason of why I will use the GHS VB strings, which remove a little color on a guitar that needs to be tamed.
I have the Sunbeams on two guitars at present (one Rosewood, one Mahogany), and I plan to finish the trial with a round on my Maple Jumbo. They're good, but so far, nothing that gave me an "Aha!" moment from using the standard PB hex core strings (either DR or GHS).

I recently tried the Rares again for the first time in approximately ages. I like that there’s a little more space around the note than with the Sunbeams, a little more toward vintage dry. I could see alternating to keep hearing fresh things from a particular instrument. I also like the GHS Americana set on the Rare side and the Throbak round core on the Sunbeam side.
