Yeah I wasn't commenting on whether one lasted longer than another or not, just that, while I'm trying to build the wheels on the cheap, saving $30-40 over many thousands of miles spread out isn't so much, so maybe it would be worth pairing nicer rims with my nice (to me anyway- the other wheels I've built up are 105 and chorus) hubs.
