When it comes to "Clapton's choice", I have tried his strings once, and I didn't find them a,ytho,g special : I like the regular SP...
Couldn't say what's the difference, or if there is a difference even - I couldn't be too sure -, but there seem to be some. The SP are definitely more reliable than their ordinary sets, and seem to sound better too (not only longer...).
got answer finally from rep at Sweetwater and there is a small difference:
"The difference is the type of material used for the Core and wire. The Clapton 41MEC12 are made with a traditional core wire and tin-plated steel plain strings. They are the specifications that Eric Clapton wanted on his strings. So a small difference but his preference."
worth $2 more? probably not and from your own experience no, but i will give them mediums a shot next string purchase. i have tried the SPs and do like them ok but do not like the gold plated B/E string. personal pet peeve, not important but alas, is what it is
