The Sunbeams are very consistent and just fall off versus the gradual decay of the Martin strings.
Overall, I would say the Sunbeams are a better string for all purposes, but a new set of Martin SPs on a Martin is hard to beat.

Excellent points -- thanks for sharing your observations. And for spending the money for the experiment!
