I myself have had nothing but bad luck with Mavic OP's 32 3 X...Noisy, pulled out the eyelets,splitting brake surface. Never more than 10 months out of a rear wheel pro built by different builders. Just my experience at 230 lbs.

Velocity Deep V in rear is Strong, but heavy. I don't care about wieght weeneie stuff. Only thing that slows me down is Ben and Jerry's ice cream. 15,000 miles on my current wheel, still rolling true.

If I want to save weight, I'd use a Mavic CXP 33 or similar. Have one on the front end of my roadie, seemes very solid.
