I played a guitar I'd been ignoring, with 9.5 - 44 strings, plain 'G', and I found the bending was too easy, and yielded a sort of exaggerated, phony sound. I sure wish D'Addario made a readily available 10.5-48 and 11.5-53 sets. I betcha this is one of those "if you build it, they will come" type situations, but with the economy soft, I guess I can't fuss too much.
As for the wound strings, I like them for variety and have about 8-10 percent of my guitars that way. But, usually I don't swap the middle saddle around like most folks do, I just tweak the heights, avoid real big wound 'G' strings and the intonation is close enough, IMO. I guess I do look at them as 'temporary'; there's no better explanation. If I had to pick one, it'd be the 11-49 EXL with the plain G.
