Oh gawd whyyyyy? At least wait until I replace them on my roadie.
Philwood custom spoke count => low flange.

True, my bad. I think your only options for that low of a count rear track hubs are custom drilled Phils, which are boat anchors, Novatecs, which are cheap(although I hear great things about the quality, but still not something I'd lace to a $500 carbon hoop), and Mack hubs.
I'd go with a Mack.

FWIW, I've been very happy with my Novatecs, and wouldn't hesitate to lace them to anything.

The pic he posted is of a rear, IMO.

I just assume one half of the circle speaks english better, judging from both parties websites.

FYI, you'll wait a looooong time till you'll get a Mack hub. Just got an email from him that if I order now he'll start manufacturing in August.
