I put a set of the new GHS pure nickel strings on two mandolins. The lighter set on a Eastman that I setup for a friend and my mandolin got the heavier set. In both cases the mandolins sounded much better. The Eastman was night and day better, I was using White Bronze from GHS and like the Pure Nickels better. I like my mandolin a lot and have never heard it sound better. Has anyone else tried these yet. I would like to hear other opinions.

I put some on my Eastman that I use at the shop for teaching and they really sound good. Perhaps more balanced than the corresponding D'Addario nickel strings EJ67. I like them. They may have more pizazz and a nice thump to them and they tuned up and held their pitch real quick. Being nickel they should last a while, we'll see.
