Well, I caved and picked up a Lelu and a Lilitu. Damned impulse buys.
Rules-wise, this pair looks fantastic for any Neverborn master. Lilitu has plethora of abilities and spells which target an enemy's Willpower (always a good thing in a Pandora crew), and she can cast Lure with the best undead hookers around with a trigger to allow her to cast it again on the same target! Lelu has a couple of Wp abilities/spells but he really is just a melee beatstick, and for his cost he's excellent in that regard. Their biggest weakness is that each relies on the other... if one dies, the other won't survive long.
Model-wise, Lilitu is a beautiful sculpt. Just beautiful. My only concern is with the chain, which is very easily bent and eventually will likely break. I think even with careful tabletop use this won't last long, and there's no way I could put it in a typical foam carry case and have it come out in the same shape on the other end. I may end up replacing it with a more simple whip using brass rod, but I'll see how long the stock whip lasts first. Lelu on the other hand is just not that great a model, and next to Lilitu the difference is huge. He's pretty chunky, and I think he would've been fantastic were he scuplted as a lean, graceful, stalking predator type. Alas, his pose and sculpt leave much to be desired, and not much you can do with him to make it any better.
The Lelu scvulpt is disappointing... just seems...frozen. Which is sad, because most of the Wyrd sculpts are wonderful, especially Neverborn.
