As for durability, that one TE-37 cracked. Even if that would of shatter a rota, that's irrelevant. A break is a break, neither of them would be fixed.
I guess what I'm saying is if I spent $2500 on a rim.. I'd want them to weigh like 6 lbs and be near unbreakable.. and look sexy as hell.
Which leads me into thinking about how incredibly ugly some of the expensive wheels are.. not TE-37s, those are <3.. but other ones. But that would be a whole different, just as pointless thread.

I think I could survive when a wheel cracks.. but when a wheel shatters?! sounds a bit scary for me.
