I just built up my Schmidt SON 28 Klassik (bought in the end of stock sale at a German bike shop, when the new style SON 28 came out) and put it on my beater to try it out. @Skülly isn't lying - I think it rolls better than my Miche track hub does. You can definitely notice the added resistance from the dynamo running when up on the stand (even the slight notchiness caused by the magnets), but riding, it's negligible. The new SONs are even smoother, apparently.
I'm just running a S&M light at the moment, will get something commensurate to the hub at a later date, once I've built the Randonneur I have planned...
