I heard back from HED. Very quick reply; nice customer experience. They suggest the HED Jet for me over the HED Alps. Nothing wrong with the Alps but they have done a lot of improvements to the Jets this past year and feel they are their best wire spoke wheel. Also, based on my riding style they feel the standard version would be fine. I won't need the EX.

Anyone had any experience with Flash-Point wheels?

Check out this video from Interbike. This is from the Zipp booth.
