1850g would be pretty darn heavy... My cheapo DT Swiss stockers weigh less than that I think.

I only asked because I was just wondering what you were basing your impression that these wheels are heavy on... whether it was just based on your feeling from riding your Boyds, or something else.

FWIW, my Fulcrum Racing 3's are almost exactly the same weight as your Boyds and are extremely stiff laterally. I haven't been able to detect any flex under hard efforts. They certainly are a s***-ton better than my Eastons.
