Road Cycling - Campy Eurus Wheelset

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
Does anyone have any experience with these? I'm 5'10" and 150lbs., and I would probably fall into the climber category, although I love to sprint. My question would be their durability. I train on some roads that at times can get a little rough pavement-wise, so I know I woudn't train with these boys all the time, but I don't want a bent rim at the fist sign of trouble. I don't have much experience with Campy wheels, so maybe some of you could tell me about them and maybe give me some recommendations about other wheelsets you think would meet my size and riding type.
Campy builds some pretty solid wheelsets, IMHO. I've got a set of Neutrons that are a little over two years old. There's close to 10K miles on them and they never been trued in spite of a couple of crashes and some pretty nasty potholes taken at 30mph. (Enough the cause an instantaneous flat and send my waterbottle flying.) The only thing I've done to them is to replace and repack the bearings. The Eurus are a bit more aero and about the same weight. For comparison, I'm 6'0" and 160 lbs.
The reviewss I've read say you have no worries. The only issue I heard of was the tuff installation of some tires...very tight. One guy used them for cyclo-cross and a lot of people much heavier had lots of good to say. Go to RoadBikeReview. I'm looking at the Rolf Prima Vigors for a better aero effect.
