Pros & Cons
Pros
Ernie ball's strings are so dang smooth and bestowed upon me that awesome vintage tone. I just acquired a hard-to-find vintage pedal because the reissue doesn't have the same, you guessed it, tone. Will purchase again to try on my 175.
Cons
The roughness makes them noisy when moving your fingers up and down the fretboard.
Highlights
Quality
The strings are good quality and easy to play.
They have always been top quality strings and remain so to this day.

Selected because my current strings are old and sounded flat.
Price
The price is about the same, too.
Packaging/appearance
It would have been nice to put on the package what string each gauge covers though.
Competitiveness
D'addario chromes definitely feel nicer for the same price, and thomastik-infeld flats are miles better than both for $10 more.
This pack will cover every string, you’ll just have to denison them differently than what came standard.

What i mean is that doing a unison bend on the third string would usually mean that the third string would touch the fourth string

With these higher gauge strings that same note makes the bending of the third string touch the sixth string
