I migrated from Elixir Nanowebs to D'Addario XS due to the Elixir being stiff to bend (even though the tension is the same, yes, yes, I know). I play 10s and unfortunately Elixir doesn't have 9.5s and their 9s feel too floppy.
So far I'm happy with D'Addario XS 10-46, but I'm trying to restring my 7 string as well. I'd need a 60, but XS doesn't have it (they only go up to 52).
Which one of the following would match better with XS:
1. NYXL, which is basically the uncoated version
2. XT, which is the less coated (kinda like Cleartone)
3. Elixir Optiweb. From what I gather the coating is similar to XS?
Thoughts?
