I really like my Mavic Kysrium Elites. They don't quite meet your criteria, though: Retail price is $650 for the set, and the published weight is 1550 grams. Mine have given me a couple thousand trouble free miles so far. Keep in mind, in '09 Mavic did a major re-design of the Ksyrium Elite, with the rims getting extensive machining between the spoke holes to shave weight. The '09, '10, and '11 models are close to a half pound lighter than '08 and earlier. They had a reputation for being bombproof before, and they seem to have retained that quality with the new design as well, at least in my experience. Since this is C and V, I'll mention that the Ksyrium Elite is the highest you can go in the Mavic line of road wheelsets without getting into aluminum spokes and carbon bits on the hubs. Here are my '09 Ksyrium Elites on my '90's Pinarello:
