EXL110BT : Balanced tension is the way forward.

I have been using balanced tension sets (both this and the 11-50 flavour) from D'addario for ca 9 months now and I don't see myself ever going back to regular tension sets unless I have to (e.g when I need something like the 10.5-48 set).

-Sound quality is excellent, as always from D'addario.

-Feel of the strings is great and stays great - needing roughly the same amount of force to fret any string at any given fret is beautiful.

No more weird dead-notes during barre chords because the strings with the highest tensions lie underneath the curviest part of your index finger....

The only negative I can think of is that if you like to switch beetwen regular interval and dropped tuning, the lowest string can feel even more sloppy than with a regular set - as afterall almost all strings have the same tension here.
