New strings on an acoustic sounds gorgeous to me but I can see that people might feel it's too bright. New strings on an electric need a bit of time before they're sounding their best.
Rarely break strings on my acoustics but so so so many times in the last two years have I broken the A or D string on my electric whilst playing with my band. Once I had to do a whole gig without an A string because it snapped as I was warming up and I can never afford to keep spares on me.
