My new Northfield is being shipped with the Dadderio flats and I ordered some TI's to try next.
Happy that that it was not "Dog Years". I tend to be a less than new string player myself, but that would be a record for me. I have an electric winder that helps out when I do change strings.

My two cents (discounted by inflation etc.) This depends on your (in order) needs, goals, aspirations etc. If you are an aspiring performer, buy the most expensive mandolin you can steal, connive,...
Balancing it on top of the blender works well too. Hide glue is the preferred adhesive.
