Default Fulcrum Red Metal Wheels - anyone run these yet?

Seems like they are a Campagnolo owned company with four levels, Zero, 1, 3 & 5. Wanted to see if anyone has had experience with them. They do look hot! Wanted to get these Red Metal 1s for my next build but they are so expensive!!!

I think they look cool too! I saw them in a thread on mtbr.com and someone had the Red Metal 5. Looks about the same as the Red Metal 1 but the 1's won't require rim strips and are fairly light (comparable to Crossmax STs, which I have). But when I found out they are Campy made, that's when it peaked my interest about its quality.

I really like my Crossmax STs but if the consensus is that Fulcrum runs even smoother, than I'm sold on these! Which model do you have and which Mavics?
