    Stiff, fast, light, better in crosswinds, more robust, better hubs, etc.

    My Aero 72's were better in a crosswind than 303's.

    This is direct experience? I can pick up a pair of aero 46 for 1200 rubs new (clincher)

    Direct enough. The 72's put 404's to shame and are better than the old 46mm Attacks (which handle pretty much identical to the 303).
