I just finished shopping for rims. While I agree the Deep V's are a fine product, I rejected them because they are one of the heaviest rims on the market at 520 grams apiece. That's heavier than Mavic Open Pro's, which I consider a fairly generic rim, at 490 grams. So I went with another Velocity product, the Aerohead, at 405 grams. I also weigh around 155 lbs, don't jump curbs and I slow down for R/R tracks I'm not hard on rims. So if your riding style tends to be easy on rims then you may not need Deep V's and all that weight.
