Everyone was running them at sea otter. Other than the flashyness of the product, it seems nice. Do you have to use XO shifters and just not any Sram shifters? I heard something like that.

From what I've heard, it's quite a bit lighter than the 9.0 of years past. Forged alloy links, TI spring, it really doesn't get much tricker than that! Plus, the new X.O shifters have some of the best feel (grip-wise) I've ever wrapped my hand around.
I should have mine pretty soon, if all goes well.
If not, I have a box of the old-style 9.0SL...
ok RM here is the deal, the shifters are made of the same materials as they have been for the last few years. the only thing different is the grip. ALL sram ESP shifters will work w/ any ESP rear derailuers b/c of the 1:1 ratio. ok on to the rear deraileur. http://www.sram.com/product/featured/xo/index.asp
