What is the downside or advantage of these springs? I saw in a catalog they were cheaper than the regular springs. I have no prior use so don't want to buy if they are inferior.

Music wire is just a one grade of spring steel.

They are not all made the same. I put some on my 1.5s years ago and took them off. WAY overpowered...bent all the levers.

Cheaper and easier to just buy and add the 4 coil springs (depending on the trap and pin length). the 4 coil springs aren't that strong but just enough to bring up old primary springs that have gone soft.
