Fact.  I'm running R45s on my road bike and some VERY old (front is one of the universal disc hubs) CKs on the mtb.  Things are damn near bulletproof, and last forever.

They better last!

The problem is everything else involved...  Stepping up to 11 from 9 in the back, loosing my much loved triple in front...  New derailleurs...  New forks... and the list goes on...

Just to get discs.

From an engineering perspective, it's hard to beat ENVE.  How many monies are you looking at spending on them?

I hate em all, but 'Rollers' are the best. You can crash on them.  Cheesy

ENVE is @ $100 more than the Whiskey, but I may be able to get a pro deal on the ENVE.

From comments I have heard, I should be able to get a few bucks for my IF steel forks to ease the pain a little.

I like the idea of having to stay focused on a roller set up, and not just mindless peddling.

The very reason I stopped riding road bikes and switched to dirt 25+ yrs ago.  Wink .....but good rollers are the way to go.
