Really? If you want to go with Ksyrium Equipe or better, then yeah. But for a pair of Mavic Aksium wheels, which are nothing to sneeze at, you can get 'em for just a shade over $250.
Hell, I got my IRO Cold Fusions on high flange hubs with Sapim spokes for $180 for the pair. (But... they're fixed/fixed, so you're cutting out the cost of a freehub.)
