I went from 35mm Paselas to GB Cypres on my 36-spoke synergy wheels and noticed a big difference in feel. Felt like I was riding feathers rather than treads. The cush factor is still there as well if you don't overfill, but they are a bit less of the shock absorbers that the 35s were. I'm sticking with them - new favorite 700c tire.
