Default Martin extra light phosphor bronze strings

Has anyone tried these? (Martin MA530).
I use extra light strings, partly to protect my fifty-year-old guitar and partly to protect my seventy-two-year-old fingers.
I have been using Rotosound JK10s, and I like them. I just fancied trying something new.
Any advice would be most welcome.
Thank you in anticipation.

I haven’t used the Martin extra light PBs but have used D’Addarios. I find their sound a bit thin. My 71-year-old fingers and 57-year-old Martin 00-21NY love these Martin Strings. Don’t be fooled by the silk part, they do not sound like silk and steel but rather have a nice phosphor bronze sound. Diane Ponzio gave me a set to try on my 00-21NY a couple of NAMMs ago and I haven’t looked back.
