No doubt. Perhaps I did not word my comment correctly....

...the lighter wheel set will not dampen road vibration [in the same way as] your current wheels and tires and when coupled with the lighter weight of the wheels = that more lively road feel.

I've tried to quantify the difference between our various 36h wheels laced 3x, two different sets of Rolfs ('07 & '08) and a set of Topolino wheels on different road surfaces running the exact same tires at the same tire pressure and it's not exactly linear. Smooth roads feel smoother on the Rolfs, but chip seal is awful and beats you to death. Big hits or bumps are also pretty painful for Debbie (stoker) but don't feel as 'sharp' up front on the Rolfs as they do even on 36h wheels laced 3x. The Topolino's are by far the best at dampening all forms of road vibration but, sadly, have not proven to be durable enough long term to do so by several teams and even ours have now gone out of true. 40h and 48h wheels will dampen road shock differently based on how they're laced (3x, 4x or even 5x) and typically run larger diameter tires at lower PSI, so it's all over the map but at the end of the day lightweight and lightweight/racing wheels always seem to feel more lively and faster.
