Yeah, a solid wheelset in that price range is gonna make your rides more enjoyable. I don't fault your wanting a wheelset in that price neighbourhood.
A good wheelset, after the frame itself, is the next most important piece affecting ride quality positively on a road bike in my opinion.
While you are waiting, it's also not a bad idea to check Craigslist regularly. I see that you are in San Diego, and that is a good road cycling city, thus you finding a good used wheelset at a nice price.
