I didnt really take offense.
Yeah, you can get better strings by paying more, but a lot more. But expensive aint always the best value, depends what your after. Pay a couple of grand for a Bass and it will, I hope, be better than a Squier, but whether its a couple of grands worth better depends what you want and how deep your pockets are, plus of course how sure you are that your not just buying for the brand name.
For some reason Rotos are not as good as they used to be - unless of course theres a factory in China somewhere thats selling counterfiet ones, and thats what I've been getting - Last 3 sets I bought went dead in a month or so, where they usually lasted a lot longer.
I agree, most cheap strings are what you expect, and often vary from set to set as well. The ones in the O.P are, in my opinion anyway, good for the price. I got 2 different guage sets on different Basses and they both seem to be lasting well.

Oh I totally agree about paying for brands etc. For example the Picatos and particularly the new Fenders I mentioned are as good in my opinion as Slinkys and D'Addarios, yet half the price. In fact the only set I'd pay more for are probably the most expensive ie. Elixir, and that's because they genuinely are the very best I've tried.
