So instead of taking care of an expensive set of elixirs I just change 4 times more since it's the same money.

Elixirs are overrated (and overpriced)
changing strings less is the point...with elixirs you don't have to change strings as much

so if you readily admit that you spend the same amount of money on crappy strings that you have to change 4 times as much, why not just switch to elixers?

I just went to Dave's strings and I'll have to say that I am pretty impressed with the sound and ease of play. Who knows how long these things are gonna last, but I don't care 'cause I'm gonna be famous.
