Any difference between SS Rotosound 66's and SS DR Lo-riders?

[osciphex]

So these are both stainless steel hex core strings. I'm playing Lo-riders right now and liking them a lot. But I'm reading the rotosound swing bass reviews on here and thinking of switching to them (as I'm going to be up-gauging and getting a setup anyway.) Has anyone A/B'd these?

The Roto's are not as smooth feeling as the DR's. They are in fact very coarse.

As for the sound, the Lo-Riders have better lows while the roto's have just slightly more mids.

Finally, the Lo-riders had a longer life than the rotosound in my experience.

If you have Lo-riders on the bass presently, there's absolutely no reason to switch to Rotosound...You already have the best strings available for this type of (agressive) sound.

DR's are more fret friendly than Roto's.

Swing bass to me feels and sounds closer to a hi-beam than a lo-rider, but with a really coarse finish.
