Could also get carbon like Reynolds Assaults for the same price as Zipp 101; which is better choice?
What will I get for extra money?
Not too much imo. A nice alu clincher will do pretty much everything (save high speeds, e.g. 25+) just as well. Its really the hubs and low weight that most people are after.
But heck, they do demo carbon wheels (or at least Zipp does). I'm sure there is a fancy shop somewhere around long island. Stop in, drop off some collateral, and try the fancy things for a week. At the very least you'll be blingin'
