It's my first pair of carbon wheels, and compared to more conventional alloy rims (I was riding HED Ardennes), the differences are very noticeable, especially above 25 mph. I'm not sure how much different the performance may be from your Reynolds.
I would love to hear more about this, maybe it's hard to describe though.
I have a set of Ardennes, they came with the bike. I have a pair of $$$$$ carbon hoops and feel the same way about them that you described. Even at lower speeds they just feel like less work.
I would like to have another set of hoops, and do far everything I've read here is very encouraging.
