I've had the same experience (as you) with the standards: they are smooth and supple, reliable (so far, anyway), and better than anything else I've tried. Though I am curious about the Extralights, I will probably stick with the standard casings.
I'm curious of the Extralights too. As a feather weight rider who runs lower pressures and rides on mostly decent roads, I bet I could get away with them. The thought of having even one sidewall issue makes me not want to take the risk though. Waiting for more reviews.
