New kind of string reccomendations please!

Hey guys, I'm wondering if you guys can suggest some stings that I haven't already tried.

I'm looking for a new string set, it's probably not even possible. Here's what I'm looking for:
- The clarity/support of mids and highs like a set of TI flats
- The low growl and tightness of new High Beams
- 105 or greater E string gauge with as even as possibly string tension from E to G. TI rounds interested me but they don't go as thick as I'd like.

So kind of like a cross between Sunbeams and Highbeams? With better string balance?

I don't even know where to begin, but I'll tell you what I'm not thinking of
Rotosound Swing 66's
DR Lo-riders
Sadowsky Blue
Elixers or any coated strings - I play hard usually and with a pick sometimes, it typically tears these kinds of strings up.
I haven't had a new set of Chromes in forever, maybe I should try that again.

Maybe groundwounds/halfwounds? I've heard of them but never seen/felt/played them because I go fro a pretty bright tone (Steve Harris/Mic Tod from Coheed are my biggest influences/styles if that helps).

Thanks for any suggestions.
Dan
