The e13 SS is what I'm running, and availability in their EN1 casing has been so far great, but I'm going to nudge over to the DH because I apparently lack the skill to around cacti, so I'll accept that through them gets it done.
Having test rode various Aggressor and Dissector combinations, on hardpack, they don't roll anywhere near as well. This is 31mm IW rim, so I'm not getting the corner knob touchdown while vertical (but that hookup happens quick), and I feel like a large part of what makes those tires roll well is the casing suppleness... once you take that out of the equation, semislick is the fastest you can get. Having ran this bike on Ikons, Forekasters, Ardents, RekonRace, and DHF's, the casing is a nontrivial part of rolling resistance.
Running the stupid things at 32psi takes a lot of those out of the equation as well.
