So, are there any full reviews for these new strings? Are they better than Pro Arte?

I think they're good. I've decided not to put them on new guitars though because they change the tone more than any other string IMO. I think they definitely give your guitar a shot of Flamenco cojones.
I've had mine on about 2 weeks and they still need to be tuned up quite a bit every day. But the basses still have life.
I like them a lot and they're superior to the Pro Arte I think. I don't know if that's a "full review"

Do you like them better than Savarez Corum Alliance?

Great playing on your Youtube site btw

I'm reluctant to change strings, it seems as though you get used to something and even though they might not be the best the fear of making a big adjustment is an obstacle. Frankly I hate Savarez trebles, some notes sound like a goat bleating in distress and they seem to hang a little on my nails in a way that makes my pathetic tremolo technique even more frustrating than it needs be. I read about a lot of people using mixed sets: Savarez wound strings and some other trebles, has anyone tried the D'Addario flamenco trebles with Savarez bass strings?

I see they are available in Black or clear , interesting I am due to change my strings soon and I always use D'darrio so I may give them a try , it will be a while before I put a review in though,,,and really you would need many reviews on different types of guitar.

Here's my review of these strings -

The basses suck – the trebles suck.

Not trying to be nasty - just my honest opinion. I had hopes for these strings, but they are hopeless.

I'm sure other players might disagree.
