The C50 is going to be a good wheel for faster events where aerodynamics and Stiffness is what you are looking for. So Time Trials, Flat Road Races and Crits. The C24 is a very areo wheel but has a much lighter rolling weight. So better suited for Climbing events but will still make a great everyday wheel.

Roues artisanales did a comprehensive review if you have polished up your french, http://www.rouesartisanales.com. Otherwise the general opinion was the C24 was a good lightweight climber with decent aerodynamics. I hear is had just a bit less aero advantage as the C50. Both were fairly stiff. These wheels are marketed to two differnt segments though and the C50 is better at straightline events when the wind is lower and the C24 is considered a excellant climbing wheel. The thing is the C24 is much more aero than most climbing wheels so I guess it is a great all around set.
