I've got a set of Easton EA70s (about $445 shipped, from Gotta Ride Bikes through Amazon.com). 24 spokes front, 28 rear, fairly light, they were straight as an arrow out of the box and have remained that way in the 2 - 3 years I've had them. I'm about 215 pounds, have raced them in a dozen or so crits, and they've held up well. Noisy rear hub, but not horrendous.
