D'addario xl nickel vs dean markley nps

[bass_extremes]

Hey guys, I was thinking of trying some new strings I always use D'addario and I I like them but I want to switch it up. How would you compare them to dean markley blue steal nps?

I haven't used blue steels in a long time, but I can tell you that I didn't really like them. They died quite quickly. I'm using the XL nickels right now, so I don't know how long they last. So far though, I love the tone of these. They sound great and have a nice, smooth feel. I'd say go for the nickels.
