I own a pair of the Comp. For what you're paying, they're not awful wheels. I'm 80 kilos, and can put out a decent sprint effort, and I've had no rubbing issues, and they've handled winds quite well. I've only had mine for since January, so only about 2k miles on them so far, but they've done everything I've asked of them. They are quite heavy though, over 1800 grams for the pair. If you live in a flat area, not a bad buy. If you ride a lot of hills, maybe save a bit more and look at the Aeolus Pros; I ride with a number of guys who own either the Pro 3 or Pro 5, and they're all quite happy so far as well
Ah that makes me feel a lot better. Thanks for the clarification. I guess the $600 makes a lot more sense now.
