Wheel advice please

This is my first time posting on BF, but I've been lurking for some time now.

I'm building my first fixie with an old cannondale frame, and I'm trying to decide what wheelset to get. I was thinking either open pro's or CXP-22's probably laced to formulas.

My question is would it be worth it to get open pro's over cxp-22's. I checked out the weight on Mavic's site, and the difference is 75 grams per rim... thats a 3rd of a pound for the set. Would this really make a noticable difference. Durability would also be an issue since the roads here suck (Milwaukee).

My current ride is a heavy low end mtb, so any road wheel would feel light. I want a good value for now, but also don't want to feel like I need an upgrade later.
