Just a followup for whomever finds this in the future:
Only have about 30 miles on various surfaces on the USH (60TPI folding) so far, but as far as I can tell, they give up nothing to the Paselas in comfort or rolling. I like the feel of them much better than the Conti Travel Contacts I have. Definitely firmer and faster than the MSO. Time will tell how they handle punctures. They do look a bit narrower than 35mm, but my micrometer seems to have grown legs and walked away at work once again...
In short, after a short time, I have no regrets so far. Only issue I've found is there is a discrepancy in the pressure listed in the molding of the sidewall, and what is on teh sticker, the molding on the sidewall being 10PSI higher than the sticker.
