~2040g for a complete wheelset is "boat anchor heavy?" For a commuter and recreational bike? Seriously?

And I'm curious as to whether you've actually quantified the difference in tests, or just presume that 1 pound is significant.
Again, for a handful of riders the minuscule difference generated by 1 pound is actually important. It doesn't sound like the OP is in that elite group.
