Hey john, what was it that made you switch back to Elixir after your first set of D'Addario strings? I'm just curious because I'm like a caveman when it comes to guitar strings - I can't appreciate the difference between D'Addario vs Martin vs Elixir vs barbed wire.

Me too. Speaking of cavemen...
It was a long time ago but I think I felt the D'Addario strings didn't last as long as the Elixir. To be sure... it's an old foggy memory.
When I returned to guitar some years ago after a decades-long layoff I bought a guitar from a good friend. When I first visited a shop to have it set up, I asked for a new set of strings and, when I didn't respond much past "I dunno" to the question of what brand and gauge, the owner threw a set of Elixir Nanoweb lights, at me. That's what I've used ever since.
