This thread was really helpful, especially @superdex's review of how the deep section wheels feel on a bike with round tubes. @MinnMan's comments were helpful as well.

Time will tell but I'm hopeful that the few extra grams will be offset by a bit of aero. Even if it isn't, the wheels will be 1/2 lb lighter than whats on the bike now with the vast majority of that weight savings on the rim.

Light Bicycle was pretty easy to work with so far. Shipping isn't cheap though.
