someone mentioned in another currently running thread that he loves saddle threads - well...i love wheel threads

so i am wondering whether op came to a decision & why?

personally, over the past couple years i went through several different velomine wheelsets...m13/cr18/open pro rims/formula hubs & was satisfied with all of them even considering that they did not include rim tape, but i do feel it is worth mentioning that contrary to common wisdom here, none of them were handbuilt by velomine - they were all actually from wheelsmith.

since i seem to have some weight weenie tendencies along with always being on a budget i finally ended up with wabis's jalco rim/joytech hub wheelset at the beginning of this year & even though i can be hard on wheels they have performed like champs & i love them. but not too long ago at a swap meet i fell into a lower spoke jalco rim with a novatech road front hub & for no other reason that i thought it would be cool, built a new radial front wheel that is a great match with my wabi rear (fyi, wabi rear hubs are fixed/fixed) & am extremely happy with my "new" wheelset.

but seeing this thread daily has aroused the old familiar urges & i happen to have more than my usual spare cash at the moment...

am i crazy to be ready to gently squeeze the trigger on an open pro/low-flange phils wheelset that i ran across? which is actually a bit heavier & likely no stronger than the wheels that i am running now? just because it is...uhhh...open pro & phil?

btw, i need to do something with my wabi/jalco gx410 rim/joytech hub front wheel, which is in nice shape, that i'm not using anymore & am open to suggestions...
