Got one with my Cotic Escapade and use it with a Hope disc hub. It holds the wheel rock solid I do have to clamp it a bit tighter than I would a normal skewer, but I can live with that.

Cheers @Cranky and @Howard. And in both cases are those the big 9mm QRs or DT Swiss RWS or something different?
The Superstar 9mm QR (which appears to be a copy of the Novatec QR215) is a fair bit cheaper than the RWS, but I'm a little concerned about it being open cam.
There doesn't seem to be anything else available except for those two and when I emailed Superstar about whether they'd be getting black ones in again I got a generic copy and paste email saying thanks for my interest in their bearing tools. When I replied saying I was after 9mm QR thru axles (I'd included a link to them in my first email), I got another identical copy and paste, but they'd replaced bearing tools with 9mm QR thru axle, apologising that they were completely out of stock and didn't intend to get them in but that I could follow them on facebook... Ignoring the fact they have them in all other colours. :|

I asked in the road wheels thread but didn't get any responses, so I'll try here...
Has anyone tried a 9mm qr thru axle (either dt swiss RWS or novatec/superstar 9mm qr) with compatible wheels? If so, did you notice any difference/improvement compared to regular 5mm QRs?
Turns out my current dt swiss r24 dBs are compatible and come with the required end caps, and the novatecs I'll be getting soon are also compatible (if I buy the end caps for a tenner or so).
