Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I used Mavic Cosmic Carbone SL for several years, as well as the Dura Ace C50 wheels (though mine were the tubular version). Both were great performing and durable wheels, but out of those two I would give the edge to Dura Ace because of the better hubs.
