Question Oliver Rods?

Has anyone used Oliver connecting rods? Any first or second hand experiences?

I see they clam their I-beam rods to be lighter yet stronger than H-beam sets. I would think that an I-beam design might have poor windage properties.

As I understand things:
I-beam: light and strong, maybe poorest windage.
H-beam: heavier and weaker by design, maybe better windage than I-beam.
X-beam: Strongest but heaviest, best windage by design.
