I had previously been using ernie ball super slinkys and loved the tone. However, I found that they lost the brightness after a very short time and although they still sounded good to my ear, there was a big difference from their new sound. With Elixir nano web strings I find a very similar tone and zing while new and this lasts far longer than the super slinkys! This makes them worth the extra money in my opinion. They are also very similar in feel to the slinkys in that I can slide smoothly across and up the neck. Overall these strings are excellent and I will keep them as my string of choice! If you like ernie ball strings, you'll love these!
