+1. The only saving grace would be that wheels can easily 'move along' to that next bike. But $1k wheels on that bike is still nuts.
Fulcrums seem to be a touch cheaper than Mavic. Here are 7's for under $200 shipped:
Fulcrum Racing 7 Wheelset 2014 Clincher | eBay
Bdop's build kit plus a LBS is a nice option as well.
