I can appreciate the aesthetics, esp the Blendr integration, but just not seeing the utility. A carbon 31.8mm protaper + 30mm or 40mm syntace megaforce 2 come in at 300g even, uncut, are pretty compliant (31.8mm for carbon 4eva), and give the adjustment everyone mentions above. MSRP totals $255 and the combo is DH warranted. Unless I'm going for dangerholm levels of integration, I can't see spending an extra $100+ to save 35g (about the weight of one wheel's worth of disk rotor bolts) on a setup that isn't rated for as much abuse, reduces adjustments. and is probably similarly compliant.
