I ride them and have nothing bad to say about them. Reviews are stellar across the board. A real bargain. They look the part as well. I weigh 175, so can't speak to the spoke count debate.
Haven't had a flat yet, but wouldn't hesitate to use a lever if necessary even if its not recommended.
I believe you'd also get some votes for Campagnolo and Fulcrum wheels in this price range.
