I've not experimented with the microbevels personally, but the razors that were honed by others that have a microbevel have been superlative shavers. In theory (you know, the one that I am developing in my head), it would seem to make sense that the edge should last longer because the finest part of the bevel is shorter. Here's an example to illustrate why that's relevant: If you try to break a long stick, it is really easy typically; however, if you try to break a really short stick, it is much more difficult.

Shortening the finest part of that edge would intuitively lead to a more durable edge. However, as you say, we need to see some actual results to see what happens.
