Tynan, I've just built up a dt 1.1 single eyeletted version, and also (sadly) weighed it off against an open pro (silver) and had the same findings as you.
as for them cracking, well Have to wait and see. they were the only(clincher) rim I could get at the time in 36H, they seem to build up OK, despite the spoke holes not being "handed" (they are central) and single eyeletted.
the ride is very similar to the OPs on the road.
as for pewter goldtecs, if you want silver just leave them outside in the sun for a few days.
I have been fine, no cracking, I can't imagine DT Swiss would continue to make and sell singles if this was a common problem ?
