I can't noticeably tell a differene between them as far as tone goes, but some are easier on the fingers than others. |

If you want a little bit more sparkle with the same punchy, tight sound, try the GHS Super Steels. Nice strings. The Rotos seemed to have more power with very similar punch and clarity, so I might give the edge to them. Very slight edge though |
