That and they tend to be a bit on the heavy side and excessively pricey IMHO.
If I had to do it all over again I would have had a set of wheels built instead of picking up the Elites.
Still... I could have done a lot worse.
The 09/10 models shaved some weight and 1550g isn't bad for an all around wheelset, what I agree with is the fact they're overpriced. I have a pair that I bought off a friend when he bought a Hed wheelset so I didn't pay anywhere near retail; scoring them off e-Bay is another good option.
