If going through all the bother with a $2k racing wheelset, you would be better served to go tubular. 1650 grams seems light until you compare it to the 1278 grams of the tubular version. That's almost a full pound less weight and the "hassle" of tubulars doesn't really apply to race wheels.

And I wouldn't even think of using a $1-2k wheelset as an "everyday" wheelset. I save the everyday stuff for the $250 32 spoke sets I get from Performance.
