I'll go along with that. Gibblet makes great strings and about as reasonable as you'll get for the quality. Just a tad more than you suggest, but worth every penny. I too, am not overly fond of what I've seen from the Zebra's. Seems most that have them and know what they are talking about seem to say that they never quit creeping, which means poor constrtuction techniques. And way over priced for what you get.
