Well, it's been five days now with Set E, and they still continue to settle in and sound better. Flatpicking a solo sounds good, actually, but chording is still a little below par.
I have also noticed their tuning stability is iffy. I find myself having to do a lot more little tuning tweaks, which is especially annoying on this particular guitar. (If I could fault one thing about this instrument, it's these open tuners. They're fussy and I wish they were geared at a higher ratio. But I digress.) The 6th string in particular is not staying in tune consistently. That could be because I bend it a lot in blues progressions, but a lot of times I'll hit a chord and it's just wrong, and I find the 6th is like a quarter-tone out of tune. Again.
Part of me wants to keep them on for the full two weeks to see where their metamorphosis lands, and part wants to end it at one week because I already know they're not going to be winners.
