light bright flats?

so I just recently got my first fretless. I'm used to playing on D'addario 35-95 round wounds on my fretted 6 string. I've bought a set of D'addario Chrome flatwounds that were a little too flat sounding for me, and also tried a set of D'addario half rounds, but could only find the 50-110 set at my local guitar center, which i am really not feeling as well... too much tension and not a fan of the way they feel on my fingers.

so here's what I'm looking for. a set of flats or compression wound strings that will keep my fretboard looking nice, that are as close to rounds brightness as I can get. I can't seem to find any sets that go as small as a 35 for the G string, but maybe somebody can recommend me some fatter flats that are around the same tension as the rounds I use? (the round wound 35 gauge is 25 pounds)
