No pics, but some used Red Cranks and used (cross my fingers!) XG-1080 cassette with X9 mech, for my gravel build.

N+1 has begun.

Sweet! What are they going on?

Don't have any reference point, except my tubs combo 303/404. Didn't have a chance to put bigger mileage on them yet, but so far, very good. I ride in Surrey Hills and surroundings with lots of narrow, twitchy lanes and I didn't have any problems with them to the extend that it will be vary hard not to ride them even on daily basis. I'm big guy, so to make me start feeling the wind impact on the front, it must be really windy. At that point I would feel it despite the profile of the wheel
Brake track is harder on the brake pads compared to Firecrests. But it also gives better braking. Didn't ride them in the rain, just few times in dump, wet conditions. Breaking is constant, sharp and plenty of power.
I wouldn't put into category of "day and night" difference, but NSW is a step forward in braking department, for sure.
The only drawback, if I had to pick something is noiseless coasting. They hub makes a very distinctive noise, which I like, when span in hand, but on the bike with higher speeds the become silent. Almost, they make nice noise cutting the air
Few more things, all valve extenders should follow Silca's example, such a small but brilliant solution.
New QR are far better than the previous ones supplied wit Zipp wheels, not the lightest ones, though, 70g.

808s for Surrey Hills? Odd choice.

I ride around there with my (heavier) 404s FCs... Each to their own. Bigger guys (90kg+) won't really benefit too much for LW climbing wheels. My 404s have been faultless over the past 12 months.

Thanks... It's an absolute beast of a bike and a total gamechanger. I've changed up quite a bit of it from stock to make it even more of a climb killer. And in a couple months, I'm going to be putting some Reynolds Strike SLG Disc wheels on it too

Got a pic from the side? Looks like a sweet set up for covering a lot of ground, at speed, in comfort.

This was when I picked it up at the shop... I've added bottle cages, put handlebar tap on the aerobars, and swapped out the tires for Panaracer EVO3 A 28c tires since then.
