I'm deciding between two wheelsets...

I've decided on two wheelsets, although I'm open to suggestions. The two I've narrowed it down to are the Bicycle Wheel Warehouse's Blackset/Dura Ace and two wheels from Neuvation's site.

Here's what I've come up with as pros/cons:

BWW Blackset/Dura Ace - $450 – 1482g
- Dura Ace quality
- More spokes = stronger (32 radial front / 32 3x rear)
- 33g lighter
- 160g lighter rims (rotation weight)

Neuvation Wheelset - $316 – 1515g
- Less spokes = weaker (20 radial front / 24 2x rear)
- More aero rims (27mm vs 24mm height)
- $134 cheaper

Those prices include everything shipped to my house. Both wheels are so different and both have great points to them. I'm leaning towards the BWW because the Dura Ace quality, stronger (assumed), and lighter (especially where it counts). I think that's worth the extra $134, right? So, which would you choose and why? Thanks in advance for any help.
