Vipassana - now that you've been using these for a while, how do you like them? Are they holding up and staying true? Quality-wise, on par with brand name wheels? Thanks!

A few weeks ago I ordered the NSS38C carbon wheelset from Peter at Iplay. They arrived today. As with all the parts I've ordered from Iplay so far, they arrived in good shape and packaged very well. The fit and finish looks great.
Wheels Specs:
RM38C 38mm profile carbon rims - Matte 3K weave
20F/24R
Novatec 482F/582R hubs w/ sealed bearings
Titanium skewers
Sapim CX-Ray spokes (flat profile)
1220g per pair (claimed for the tubular set, no weight given for the clinchers that I bought)
I will get them mounted up next week and see how they do. I will be using Specialized Armadillo 700x25 tires (because they are what I have laying around).
When I get official weights I'll post them up.
These will be replacing an old, tired, heavy set of Alex cyclocross wheels with non-sealed bearing hubs (and the bearings are toast).
