I would recommend demoing some wheels if you possibly can, especially whatever you think you are going to buy. There's more than meets the eye - stiffness and how they handle in wind are hard to describe, if you can try them it would be good.

Also, make sure they fit in your frame, I have a Scott Plasma TT bike that I can't put my Zipp 303 front wheel on, the frame is too narrow.
Good advice, I have a shop that demo's Reynolds wheels and they said no charge for me, just tip the mechanic swapping my cassette over so that's a good place to start. I believe the caad10's can fit 28's so I should be ok, and the newer Reynolds are pretty wide so I'll find out soon enough, thanks.
