I've been riding the Clement Strada in both 25 and 28. And I like 'em in both sizes. No flats yet in either. But the rubber on the sidewalls does seem a bit fragile; mine have a couple of nicks, though nothing that's cut through the casing (yet).
As you mention, the 28s measure more like 27 on my Velocity Aeroheads. Kind of like a poor man's Challenge Parigi Roubaix, though in my experience they don't feel quite as fast as the Challenge. They're a nice option for winter riding, given their all black sidewalls/tread. Grime and muck don't show up.
