Campy hubs with Martano tubular rims were supplied for several performance bikes, California Masi probably first in my mind. In real general terms you're evaluating the absolute top of the 1970's market against the solid middle of 2010's market.

A 1980's Ferrari is still going to show it's excellent characteristics compared to say, today's Lexus sports sedan, at least in fairly intangible subjective characteristics.

Enjoy the experience. You can enhance it by springing for some of the better Vittoria tubulars, or even a pair by Dugast, Challenger, or FMB. At least two of them offer road silks. Consider it a $200 trip in a time machine!
