Any personal reviews for Bora WTO?

Reading all the mad search for the Bora WTO on this forum, I am left wondering. Can any user relay their personal review of the Bora WTO? What I am most interested in knowing is the following:
1. For their depth, let's say, the WTO 45, does it ride "better" that other 45 mm wheels. Please feel free to define "better" any way you wish.
2. I have read that the Bora WTO "feel" like a much lighter wheelset. In my opinion, the WTO, at any depth, are quite a bit heavier than the offerings from Zipp (e.g. 353 NSW) or the Spesh Alpinist etc. Yet, I have read that despite their heft, they "feel" much lighter. Can anyone confirm? I just do not trust professional reviewers on websites anymore.
3. Any comparison with other wheels you have had in the past would be wonderful.
4. Basically, I am tossing the idea of getting a Bora WTO (maybe the 45). Or maybe getting one from BTLOS or EIECarbon (45 mm depth) and having them built with DT Swiss 180 or Carbon-Ti hubs and having them built to about 1250 g. Which option would you choose if you only had these two choices?
5. If you had $2000 to splurge on carbon wheels (and you have to spend it on carbon wheels, or else the boogeyman takes the money back), what would you buy?

It does not matter if you are relaying your experiences with the WTO disc or rim version. Just review away! Would love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks for the input!
