Pros: Sounds fine, lasts well, does not whistle on open string.
Cons: I tried an Evah which sounded better still on stopped notes when new, but it whistled like mad, so I quickly went back to the Kaplan. No regrets.

Smooth crossing
Pros: I always use this string as it is very good for crossing on to an open E which is usually the way in the playing of traditional 2/4 'pipe Marches.
Cons: Sometimes I have spent more time changing strings due to the adapter but it's worth it.

Excellent E string
Pros: I was a bit sceptical but this string really works. It does not whistle and I like the feel under the fingers. It is really strong at the top of the instrument which is great
Cons: Would have liked a loop end instead of a ball end with adaptor which is the only reason it gets just four stars
