Anyone got any feedback for this wheelset?

Currently running Zero Nite on Cervelo S3. Would this 40mm wheelset make a difference?

The latest Tour issue tested this wheel against other aero wheels. The aero performance is quite good for a 40mm deep rim (on par with the Boras). The weight is the same as the Boras. The test did note significant brake fades during its brake testing. I would also check into the Mavic hubs. The old hubs are not good (seal wears out). I'm not sure if these newer hubs have been updated.
