Nonetheless, I think you should consider something like this:

http://www.boydcycling.com/38mm-carbon-clinchers/

psimet would likely be the more expensive option, but you could use Alchemy hubs from Broomfield. Local and lighter.
I'd go boyd over november...I don't like novembers business model at all, the fact they don't really stock much means you could be sol if you run into warranty issues...they are completely reliant on pre-orders...so basically you front them the money..they import the wheels, mark them up, ship them out....I'll take the convenience of known quality and a better relationship with my lbs...not to mention zipp is phenomenal when it comes to warranty issues.
