The OP hasn't mentioned spoke count but with only 32 and 36 hole options for that hub it won't typically make the list of someone looking to build a performance wheelset.

Something like the hub below is still fairly stout but lighter and barely more expensive than the Shimano 105 hub, and available in far more drilling options. There are much lighter options for similar cost as well.
