Do you have a link to the Le Tour test?

When I put the masters back on my training wheels recently I noticed the ride was much more harsh then the other two I have been using, which is to be expected certainly.
So the moral of the story is that the 23mm masters are probably the best things going.

I'm confused...are you saying the Veloflex Masters are a harsher ride than your Vittoria's and not as good as your Mavic's, but you still think they are the best tire going? Sorry, I may have just misunderstood your post.

If you like the schwalbe ultremo zx then may also like the Conti Force/Attack
From the point of PR, LRR, and durability, then the Kenda Kaliente is worth considering, but it is not a comfortable tyre until it has done about 2K or 3K kms
