DR makes good strings but I've never really liked their stainless steel offerings. They're far too scooped sounding for me.
So I figured I would try one of their nickel plated steel varieties. They're certainly not scooped! If anything they've got too much mids for my taste. They have this honky thing going in the mids that I'm not really a big fan of. Don't get me wrong, they're not bad strings. It's just that I could list at least 10 other nickel roundwounds I like far better so I don't see the point of buying the Sunbeams again. It was worth a try but they're not for me.

DR
A good middle ground - fretless
Dermot R. 09.06.2013
Wanted something bright but not all-steel for my fretless bass. Nice bright tone when new which settles down into a nice not dull tone. Sounds great and clear with the fretless. They have a smooth feel due to the nickle, which I don't love, but it's not an issue. Worth trying out. Considering trying them on my fretted bass also.
