Price

Competitiveness
Buy these, you will love them, i use no other brand.
Additionally, i am familiar with elixir brand guitar strings, which i use for my 12-string acoustic and my 6-string acoustic.
I've tried many other brands of electric guitar strings and always come back to elixir.
I've tried just about every brand name strings made but i always come back to elixirs.
