how do you like the polywebs compared to the nanowebs?

I heard they are slippery as shit for a while and then they lose the slickness much faster than the nanowebs.

I've settled lately on the nanoweb light-mediums, but I might have to try the polywebs.

I've tried both. I like polywebs better. I like the slick, I feel like it gives me some extra speed. I like the tone too.

Elixir Nanowebs .012

I have gotten so used to how easy they slide that it is just weird playing instruments with other strings.

My only problem is my 6(E) string buzzes too much. I don't know if that is an issue with strings being too light or just not a perfect match with the guitar.
