Whatever it is, I like it!
As mentioned, you changed a lot of things to just think it is only the hub. I notice more of a difference in hubs in the area of engagement then anything else. Let us know how the the whole combo works out for you after some more riding. I am thinking of going to a similar wheels and hubs. If you don't mind me asking, where did you buy them at?
