Hello! I'm in the market for a new set of wheels for my Litespeed Calssic. I was reading about Mavic ksyriums and came across something that said that the SL2's ($879.99) and the Elites($549.99) are essentially the same wheels. Just that the SL2's use some sort of fancy schmancy material for the spokes(which makes them super light) and the Elite's spokes are made from stainless steel. Does anyone know how true this is? I actually got this from a bike shop and hell, for a $300+ dollar difference, I don't see the point.

thanks!
