Sorry to hear about your misfortunes this morning. But as they say, when one door closes....
Having had both the X-lites and the X-Lite Aeros, I'd say go with the X-Lites if you can get a deal. While the X-Lite Aeros are fine wheels, they are over 200 grams heavier than the X-Lites - and cheaper of course. A more comparable wheel would be the Rolf Prima Vigor. Aero rim but similar to the X-Lite in terms of weight and price. And since all 3 were designed by the same person - Rolf Dietrich - they have the same lineage.
