Since most loaded touring rigs I've seen run on 36 I can't imagine needing to go much above that unless you're really paranoid. I think the additional weight and hub cost would make the entire package prohibitive for me. The only way I would look at that much is if I was building my own wheels and acquired the parts (or at least some of them) for extra-super cheap.
