PSG W/Duraflex for control and durability?

I've been testing a lot of strings, very happy with most of results but durability. I've tried Xcel, LaserFibre, Yonex and similar multis. Great results but lack of durability. I can't use full poly because they are very stiff for my liking. Now I'm testing RIP Control 16 with similar results about durability. The positive side of this string is its price.
I read some comments about Prince Synthetic Gut w/ duraflex but I'm not sure if this string could fit my needs. Basically I'm looking for control, spin potential and durability.
Could this string fit these needs?

Many people swear by it. Unfortunately I got a job in my n6.1 95, at 62 lbs. After about 6 hours of play it was fraying A TON! Dont know if this is just a wierd occurence though.

PSGD in 16 gauge lasts about four hours for me before sawing through the mains. The duraflex spirals may help somewhat, but once you saw through those, it's just PSGO until you saw all the way through to the weave on the other side, by which time that string is going to break at any moment anyway.

It's ok only because it is cheap, otherwise like all synthetic gut, it's garbage than doesn't last long. There are so many more alternatives.

i string for a guy who used to use the 16g version and busted thru it in one week or about 10hrs playing time, i put gamma tnt fusion2 19g kevlar/ 17g synthetic and he is still going strong.

I think Kevlar is too stiff for me.
