I asked this same question not too long ago without many replies. Good luck.
I too am looking into one of the Dura-Aca Carbon sets in the spring, but don't know if I'll being going tubular. I'm leaning more towards the WH-7850-C24-CL myself. The price is amazing in comparison, but no it's not a tubular.

Yep, got 'em' love 'em....beautifully aero, & light enough so that it isn't an issue....not sur that I'd buy 'em again, simply cos tubs are a pain in the @rse....but as tubs go, these are awesome. You may need to be careful with your choice of brake pad though, don't believe any of the carp promoted by Zipp, et al, about pads being suitable for both Alu & carbon surfaces....I did & went thru half a set of zipps in one race (& I'm not heavy on the brakes)....stick with cork, although you need to be careful if you're changing them often (for different wheelsets etc), they are fargile if ya pull on em
