Optima Gold Strings—Good for String-Thru?

[bitterminnows]

As I may be getting a Kawai FIIB soon, I thought I might like to try some Optimas on it to emulate one of my favorite players using them on an Alembic.

What I’d like to know before getting them is, are their long scale strings long enough to go through the body? Does anyone have experience with this?

Optima "long scale" = 37" in winding length (ball end to taper), which should be long enough for thru-body on a 34" scale.
