Road Cycling - Anyone using new Dura Ace wheels?

Does anyone have any first hand experience with the new DA WH 7800 wheelset?
i am wondering how they compare to other similarly priced wheels - particularly Ksyrium SL's, Velomax, and Bontrager Race X lites, Etc. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I am interested in them as well... Got a really good deal from LBS. Have not bought them yet because I am trying to wait for comments on them. Any comments guys?

Well, I am using them on my Litespeed Tuscany. Got a nice deal on them this spring when I was looking to upgrade my wheels. Very happy with the wheels - can't really compare them to anything you listed though. They replaced Mavic Cosmos which I had only put 100 miles on.

What kind of deal did they get you? I was quoted $850 this weekend, I laughed out loud and politely excused myself from the lbs.

I bought them here, used a 20% discount coupon and also received 10% Team Performance discount, so they cost $800 x .80 x .9 = $576

You can get 'em on ebay for $500 - brand new.

Knowin what I now know, I'd go for ksyrium SL's.

Saw a set for $650 buy it now - where did you see them for $500?

What do you know now that would make you change?

One of the guys on my team got a set several months ago and they went out of true almost immediately (about a week, I believe). He trued them up, they went out again just as quickly. Did another truing and they went out again. The wobble pattern was different each time, so they weren't suffering a "memory" problem, they just weren't very tough wheels.

They've been fine for me - 6'2" 200# and I beat on them. Roads here in New England SUCK too.

Friend from LBS quoted me about US$450 for the pair (brand new) and easy payment terms.

I was considering the DA's when I posted this question way back when ( I was really surprised to see a response after so much time has passed). Since then I traded out my Bonti Race Lites for a set of Ksyrium Elites which I like a lot. Based on that - and first hand experience of other club riders - I'd like to step up to the SL's. My second choice would be speeddreams. I didn't intend to imply anything particularly negative about the DA's.
