Thanks again all!

I'll contact Peter White and I've also heard good things about Mike Garcia, see what they recommend with the Mavic A719 vs Deep Vs vs Dyad. I'm not a weight weenie but want to do centuries without feeling like I'm on my mtb and at the same time get to the end without constantly checking to see if I have to stop and retrue the wheel.

Since I have two rear hubs at my disposal I think I'll have a bombproof rear done by a pro and build a slightly lighter 'reward' wheel myself when I drop that weight down.
