I've not tried either (either!), but quality concerns aside, I would expect an aluminium-wound string to be either (1) very light-weight compared to a steel string of similar gauge and as such less capable of producing low-end & volumes (due to the low energy levels imparted by the low vibrating mass and a corresponding higher resonant frequency of the string) or (2) an overly thick string to compensate for the mass-deficiency. Given that their principle interest is unlikely to be: "Tone First" (and most likely: "Cut every possible corner/Use as little material as possible/Save every possible penny"), I'd anticipate the former scenario, meaning a weak & thin sounding string. We also don't know what the string core is; it could be an incredibly inflexible string which will limit vibration and exascerbate the deficiencies. You'd probably find yourself hammering away excessively to get volume, which, to answer part of your question, would be unnecessarily tiring on your hands. If budget is a concern, you'd be far better off spending a little more & getting a decent set of second hand strings on the TB Classifieds. You could easily waste the price of a decent second hand pair on a few of these.
Incidentally, the Corelli Forte TX's are a great example of the opposite application of materials; by using a heavier winding material (tungsten), they increase the mass of the string for a given diameter/gauge and can therefore get away with a decent sounding string that is thinner (and easier to play) than similar steel counterparts.
Good luck in your string safari...
