I'm bumping an older post to see if there is anyone else that has something to chip in on the issue. Searching around, it seems like 50% of people find them to be fine, 20% have a really good experience and 30% really don't care for them or have a truly bad experience.

I haven't compared prices at my LBS yet but I'm guessing it'll be something like $75 for the Miche(comes with lockring) and $125 for a Veloce with lockring.

If it's a matter of setup, I don't mind taking a few extra minutes. However, if it's a matter of plain out never working right, I'd rather just save myself the headache.
