Two years of year round use and only needed truing once (rear only).
Still spin true to a couple tenths of a millimeter (laterally and
radially). Typical experience common to everyone I know with the same
wheels. Lighter and more aero than Krysirums SL SCC. Rock solid
stability (even fully tucked up to 58mph).
I stand by what I said, Rolf Vigor - extremely satisfied.

unless you are willing to tolerate a few millimeters of runout both
radial
and lateral.

One more thing. If you're looking at Krysirums you may also want to
consider Rolf Prima. They have wheels (such as the Vigor) that compare
very well AND they're made right here in Oregon! (You do know Mavic is
French, right?)
I'm sure everyone will chime in with their own opinion but I've been
running my Vigors for two seasons now and have been extremely satisfied.

Thanks everyone for the info. The responses have been very helpful.
To sum up, what I'm hearing is that in *most* cases, I can just pop a
new 9-sp cassette on the hub and everything should work just fine with
my existing 9-sp components. Exceptions occur with Shimano wheelsets
using the new, narrower Dura-Ace and Ultegra-10 hubs. The 10-sp
cassettes are backward compatable to older hubs using a supplied spacer.
This is good as I'm not looking at Shimanos. My goal is to get Mavic
Krysirums this spring.
If I do get a 10-sp cassette, then most components of the drivetrain
have to go 10-sp as well; chain, shifters, derailleur, maybe even the
front stuff (crank & deraulleur). Regardless, it's more of an overhaul
than I think the frameset merits at this point. As someone mentioned,
I'm probably better off going to 10-sp when I eventually get a new bike.
