Are they're wearing well, because those are the other tyres I'm considering.I haven't put in much mileage since I had them fitted so can't really comment yet, the XM in the name stands for eXtra Mileage so I'd be surprised if they don't have a decent lifespan. As a direct comparison I was getting at least 3400 from the Storm 2 Ultra rear so that's over 20% more than the 023s - an additional 1000 miles if you normally get 5000 out of an 023 !!
As an aside I don't ride in the wet so can't comment on handling in poor weather conditions, but for a tyre with Storm in it's name I wouldn't think they'd be too bad.
