Acoustic string experimentation

[GrandmaShreds]

As the title suggests, I have been experimenting with different gauges and brands on my acoustic. I prefer the coated strings as I get more mileage for my dollar as compared to regular un-coated strings. I just put some D'Addario XS strings (80/20) on my acoustic and having been an Elixir user for a few years, these XS seem to be way brighter sounding and have more punch/volume than the Elixir (80/20). I hope the XS strings last as long as the Elixir strings.

I have used the XS on electric and I didn't get on with them. They didn't last that long. I'm wondering if the acoustic set will be different seeing as I keep it in a case, whereas I leave my electrics on my rack stand.
