I like the CXP10 and 12 rims also, shame they've been out of production for quite awhile and hard to find.
I researched the TB14 rims for my tourer and read where they've been used with 23 mm tires, but I don't understand the advantages, if any. As my 28H Open Pro CDs have been flawless for ~14 years I think Mavic may've had a bad batch, but it only takes a few...
Velo Orange has some rims that would look nice on an older bike (few decals), but I don't know anything about their quality.
