just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
They squeak much much less (the most important thing for me), so much better for recording
Some people like zingy strings An expensive habit I think.
Some top guitar makers fit them as standard, some don't.

ABOUT ELIXIRS
PRO:
* they have very, very low left-hand noise (great for recording)
* their tone doesn't change much over the life of the string
* they last for ages and ages
CON:
* they have a weird soapy feel many people dislike
* they are very high tension; much harder on the left hand than any other top-selling string of equivalent gauge (Ball, Martin, D'Addario, GHS, etc.), almost as hard as the notorious Dunlops.
* they are very expensive
* they are amongst the most-often faked strings. Do NOT buy them on Amazon, E-bay, Alibaba.
* their sound is competent but lacks character and bite. (Think airline chicken.)
* they last for ages and ages,
