What is this bollocks?
CXP33s are NOT light rims, nor are they BETTER than Open Pro for any reason other than perhaps stiffness, being deeper rims. If you're going to provide info try and make it factual.
For the OP: I have both of these rims on different wheelsets and they are both fine. The CXP33s feel sluggish but it's an unfair comparison as they are built on 36H whereas my Open Pro set are on 32H. They would both be totally fine for road use. If you're not heavy and don't need/like/want the deeper section I'd go for Open Pros.
