Having used Bertoud's, VO's and Honjos, my answer is it depends on the bike and your wallet. The Bertouds have a slight weight penalty but are very stiff and therefore ideal for bad roads and trails. The VO's are a bit lighter and maybe more appropriate for a rondenee or go fast set up. If I owned something showy and felt a little flush that momth, I'd buy the Honjos. That said I had a pair of Honjos on my Ram, which was my main bike, and they lasted seven or eight years. Also the sizes are not the same and sometimes one or another is a better fit.
