half rounds (like SIT Silencers but more flexible)

I've been trying out loads of strings: rounds, flats, half-rounds, nickel, stainless... and I've decided that in terms of feel, tone, and reduced fret clank, I'm really a half-rounds kind of guy.

I love SIT Silencers. They have a nice smooth liquid feel and a mellow tone that gets woolier and more mojolicious with age. I tried Ken Smith Compressors and didn't like them at all; too stiff, rough, and twangy for me.

Anyway, I want to try a string like SIT Silencers but with slightly less tension. Has anyone tried a ground/pressure/half wound string that's slick like the Silencers but a little more flexible? (And not Ken Smith Compressors. I hated those.)

Please and thank you.
