Has anyone got any experience of these X-Lite carbon risers on CRC?

They're the right width and a pretty good price, but I can't bring myself to buy them for some reason, that I can't put my finger on
They're pretty heavy for carbon.
I have the straight version on my SS and they're nice and strong feeling and a good shape, much lighter than the risers too. Quite happy with them.
I've got the 710mm flats on my 29er. Really nicely made bars but I was disappointed that they were 220g instead of the specified 177g - quite a big increase but at the time I couldn't find any other >700mm flat carbon bars. Getting used to quoted weights being well off these days so kept them as at least I know they should be strong!
I did notice that carbon cycles have some even wider flat bars that are quoted as being sub 200g which look nice but quite a low sweep and I like at least 8deg and the X-lite are like my Easton bars which are 9deg.
