Nice! One word though - crosswind! I have Zipps, and while you wouldn't think it would be an issue, the wind will certainly affect the handling on the deeper dish rims.
I think our DH's are pretty similar, BTW

Yeah, I'm just a little unusual.

Yeah, one of my first rides on them we had some serious winds. I stood to climb on a little hill and I swear the rear was fishtailing slightly. I've got about 100 miles or so on them now, maybe a little more and I'm getting more comfy with how they handle. Even got down into IAB position yesterday.
Yesterday was my first big descent with them. Usually I'm just a little slower than Thom, even though he makes me go first.
And he noticed that they seem faster, even with me braking for corners a bit earlier than usual. First descent caution. 
I'm pretty happy with them.

Great looking wheels!!! lots of luck with them. I believe it has been said wheels are one of the most important components of the bike.
