Re: Other than money, any reason NOT to convert to CVs?

Back to back comparison? I have the Miller CVs on our S3 solely because the rotoflexes were needing replacing just about every year, about 6,000 miles, though we do give the car plenty of beans on competitive classic rallies. They`ve been fine for about 40,000 miles. It makes financial sense.
On our Sprint, which is near perfect, the whole car is to factory spec so I`m keeping that on rotoflexes. We use it more sparingly, only about 4,000 miles in 5 years and the rotoflexes look (and work) fine.
The CVs are a touch harsher but only a bit, and I can`t tell any difference in handling. If I was converting to CVs now, from what I`ve read, I`d pay the extra for the elantrikbits.
