5 string TI flats... any good?

I’m using TI flats on my Musicman Sterling four sting and the TIs have transformed the bass from a back up to first call, I’m really digging the tone and feel of the strings.

My question is are the TI 5 string sets any good? Is there enough tension in the low B to make it work seamlessly with the other four?

If it does then I might start looking for a 5 string Sterling. Thanks, Bob
