If i got it right ,you have tried both the Diablo and  Diablo Strada,so i'd like to know which differences you have noticed between the two-do you feel like you're giving up some grip and confidence with the Strada or does it perform just the same as the normal Diablo until it is *really* pushed to its limit?The reason i'm asking this is beacuse i currently have the Diablos on my SV,and,while being more than happy about their performance,i wouldn't be disappointed if they lasted a bit more-fact is,on the twisties ;) they don't last as long as you may have experienced,but,at the same time,i don't feel like i'm really nearing their limits-so,assuming the Strada is not losing too much in terms of grip vs the regular Diablo,it could be  my next choice.Thanx,
                        -Vincenzo
