Can't speak for the 55's but I've got the 40 disc and the 81 on the TT bike. Only my opinion but both are great. Neither pair are particularly affected by crosswinds and the hubs run very smoothly, although they are better quality onew the 81's than the 40's.
I've had reynolds assaults and also got fulcrum racing speed xlr and I find they brake more predictably than the reynolds and feel more forgiving than the xlr. I guess the 55 would be just as good. Hope that's of some help.

I believe the visions are lighter than the slr's. Only 100g or so in it but what with the lighter weight plus the visions are hand-built, I'd choose them over the giant wheels. Especially at the same price.

I've got a pair of the 40's. Decent wheel's when it's all said and done, not the lightest but they're fairly tough. Wouldn't pay full retail for them, but if they're a good price then you've got nothing to lose.
