Stainless and Nickel Strings

Has anybody had experience with the Stainless steel wrapped strings that Ernie Ball makes? Like how they feel versus nickel, the sound, how soon they tarnish and rust?

I think my own body chemistry + D'Addario = Short string life (cleaning helps a bit)

So after hearing a lot of good things about Ernie Ball I think I will try theirs out.

Let me know if anybody played with the stainless ones. Also are the G B and high E strings stainless too? (it doesn't say on their site) . If they aren't then I would probably end up getting the nickels.

I would think stainless steel strings would sound kinda shitty. I dont really see a point in stainless steel strings. Stainless steel frets make perfect sense though. My D'Addario last pretty long.
