I do like the look of those and have heard good things as well. The cheapness of the CR-18s is a strong point (about half or less the cost of the TB14), but those TB14s do look nice, are slightly wider, and are believed to have a more consistent weight. With my intended use, weight isn't an issue, but I've heard that the weight of CR-18 is highly variable and I don't know what that means about other aspects of the construction. Also, a few people seem to have said some tires (including panaracer paselas which I like for the tan sidewall and low price) are very hard to mount on the CR-18.
