1450g is pretty light for a pair of wheels with 35mm depth rim. Hell, full carbon Zipp 202 clinchers are only about 50g lighter for the pair and everybody knows those hubs suck compared to a Dura-Ace hub and with these you don't have to worry about carbon issues under heavy braking or needing special brake pads.
