I have some cxp 33's myself. Very solid rims, which have a nice look to them too.
Whereas deep section rims will be stiffer during the build and will therefore most likely need less truing. A lot of low profile rims like Open pro's have eyelets. This makes it easier for the nipple to twist in the drilling, reducing spoke wind-up. It also allows for a bit more tension, and therfore a stiffer wheel for the depth.
Open pro's and excellights are the rims of chioce for pave riding for a reason. The slight give a low profile rim has, makes it more resiliant. Plus adds to the comfort.
