Also, before you ask: Yes, Veloflex tubulars are really that expensive.

They'll be for racing only, so they'll last me approximately forever barring any horrible punctures (*knock on wood*).
go with PBK
i've done a number of orders lately on the super cheap dura ace stuff and they all came within 5-6 days
you might get hit with tax either way
plus wouldn't the excelsports price be in american? that's another 25%
