Lacing: 32 3X rear. 28 Radial Front. If you want lighter 28 2X rear and 24 radial front.

They will probably be about 200 grams lighter then what you have now and will be very reliable. The XR-300's may be slightly more aero but nothing drastic.
These look a lot what I'm looking for. Now if I could get them a little cheaper.Thanks for all the the help everybody.
