has anyone used these, either in the 50mm deep or lighter 24/28mm version, opinions??

thanks
 
I haven't used specifically the Dura Ace wheels that I can remember. But I did use 50 mm deep carbon clinchers which were dramatically faster than my 30 mm deep aero wheels. Moreover, they did not act funny in cross winds though later 55 mm tubeless aero wheels did. And my Campy new-type Shamals jump around a lot in cross winds. So there appears to be a great deal of difference in these wheels and it is a good idea to either seek advice on the specific set of wheels you're interested in or be ready to go though a learning curve of your own. MOST advice is from people that have never actually tried these things themselves so beware.
