Respectfully , Bill,
That's a load-a-bull! I've been using Finger-ease since the early 70's and I've
never heard a guitar tech complain about gunk building up under frets making
them hard to remove. If you have a tech telling you that, get a new tech.
Tall tales like this make me believe that your glowing praise of Pyramid strings
is a bit overstated. Never-the-less, if I find a set at a resonable price, I
will try them and give my honest review.
I have had no problem with the longevity of D'Addarios, or even Ernie Balls or
Fender strings for that matter.

<<$23.50 for a set of guitar strings?!! Yes, I know they are pure
nickel. Yes I
know you say they last longer. But I get very good life out of my
D'Addario's.
I use clean hands and Finger-ease regularly which reduces friction
thus keeping
the strings purdy clean.>>
The Pyramids should last 2-3 times longer than the D'addarios. This
will make up the price difference! Plus your guitar is going to
sound better! I used to use D'addarios, I'll admit my spare set is
D'addarios, but those strings BLOW! They are too thick and they have
too much tension, and again they will wear down your frets faster.
Finger-ease is something you do not want to use, I have been told by
many techs that they HATE doing fret work on guitars that have been
sprayed with that stuff. It gunks up under frets and makes it tough
to pull them off...I used it all the time on my Rickenbacker and I
had a tech tell me he would not touch that guitar.
If you get Pyramids wipe them down when you finish playing and rub
lighter fluid onto them once a week.
