What about the ptap?
Ptap is a problem. It is a 24 hole hub. Plus I spoke to Zipp the other day and they have yet to test the new rims with the Ptap hub. So it may take 6-12 months for a 24 hole version of that CF 404 clincher rim to become available (it is currently 20 holes) or for Zipp to give its blessing to Ptap configurations (I'm sure people will build them up in the meantime regardless). I'll probably wait at least a year and keep my eye on eBay for somebody to sell a set of these used. Hell, maybe it takes longer, but sooner or later I'll make the switch. Easier for me to sell the existing 404/Powertap set on eBay and buy a whole new one if that becomes possible. The new wheels/Ptap would be very pricey, so I'm in no hurry. They'll hit the secondary market sooner or later.

Bike Schwag doesn't stay stupid pricey for very long. It all recycles on eBay and CL within a year or two. And half of that crap is hardly used. I've done very well buying relatively late model high end bike crap on eBay.
