I decided to give this set a try, as my normal set is the 114 (10 to 52).
The 117 sound great, but it does give you the impression a bass might be a better choice :P ....
Too heavy and awkward to play at speed for me, but the sound is awesome.
Also be prepared to do a full set-up on the guitar you put these one, if it is the first time. String height and intonation will be needing attention.
