Thanks for the info. Makes sense to me. The string thing is funny, as they must subsidize the fractional sized strings to make it affordable for the parents - going from the 3/4 size string to a 3" longer 4/4 string will literally double the cost. With the dollar so strong, top quality 4/4 string sets were costing $100 a pop - too much to replace every few months, which is all I was getting from some of the other brands. Worse than a tube-eating amplifier!
The Warchals have worked well for us on an extremely "picky" fiddle, and while overly bright for the first couple of weeks (when only played an hour a day), once settled in they sound amazing even 18 months later (of relatively light use).
Hearing a high-quality, well-played live violin in the house every day for over a decade sure helped to calibrate my ears.
