JPW often uses VOs, which certainly is a relevant data point (to me, anyway).

Now that the VO are pre-drilled with 2 holes, not sure if they holes would line up, does anyone have experience doing this exact combo? I feel like the berthoud are heavier duty, seem to rattle less (but that could be a function of my poor install skills), but i can't complain about the durability of the VO, even though i bump them into things all the time! Personally i'd go with whatever is most important to you, toe-overlap then berthoud, but if you want a certain look like hammered, or faceted etc, then VO. Honjo's are great but man they are so crazy expensive!

Any experience or differences? It looks like the Berthoud's are predrilled in the same way, for the stays, so you have to add a hole for a rack attachment up front and bridge in the rear. I like my 700x50s from VO now, but I always trust Peter White's choices in his offerings... Then when I wear out my Barlow Pass tires I can move up to Snoqualmie Pass or their 700x50 offerings when they come out (fictional thus far,don't get too excited).
