I haven't tried Vittoria (apparently they are on the way) but I agree with your thoughts about Cushcore XC and Huck Norris. As mentioned above, it seems that folding is counteracted by the volume of Octa Mousse. I'm not certain that's what allows them to resist deflection in corners, but it's my best guess based on my experience. I would agree that in this regard Cushcore Pro is superior and for many, worth the weight penalty.
