I too got the same ones and have ridden them for around 10 hours. I was surprised how good they felt. Like you said, better on body mechanics - especially on my knees (I am only 5'10). Climbing is easier, especially when you need to get power down, jumping is also better - more pop (even with me running a coil).Put on a set of E13 155mm cranks a while back (the ~$90 version). Hip preservation mitigation primarily. Easy to spin up and makes you shift a bit more frequently but rock strikes are way down and you can get a bit more drop on the seatpost if needed. Like them so far.
