I have the 404's and they rock. Just do not take them out on windy days in traffic. :)

I also went with tubulars, for several reasons.

If you get a flat, it is easier to change

The glue tape works fine, and is very clean.

I've been looking at the 202s as an option for a non aero wheel.
Traditional box type rim, CF and tubular.
I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who might be using them.
