M_V-
I hope you're wrong, I recently got myself a Miche 51t chainring and haven't got around to try it yet. Seems like Miche stuff hasn't so much of good reputation.
Tbh I still would prefer Pistard wheels over ellipses. At least their axles don't break so often and they don't charge so much for almost 2Kg of wheel.

I borrowed my girlfriend's clincher pistards to race on last night. They're okay. Even with good tyres and latex tubes they felt sluggish and slow. Heavy too. Not too stiff either in a sprint.
Also- that whole sprocket carrier system and terrible lockring. Yuk.
I generally think people are talking shit when they say "I could feel the cranks flexing" but the miche track cranks really do feel like spaghetti compared to almost everything else. The rings are not stiff either.
Just personal preference / experience I suppose.
