Personally I would have they generator hub handbuilt 32/36 on (any) strong rim by a good wheelbuilder. Performance wasn't very high up in the list for the sirrus anyways, the difference between your current wheelset and any future dynohub/rim combo is negligible to say the least.
I agree with you that the current incarnation of Sirrus is no racing bike and I'm not hoping that it would be "lighter than a fart" and pass carbon fiber Pinarillios off the stoplight, but I am concerned that it have acceptable aesthetics and be acceptably durable.
