THanks. That's the way I'm leaning. Of course, I can't let it get that simple. Is it worth the extra $500 to go for the carbon 38 clinchers. Silly question for those of us with more money than sense, but what do you get for the extra $?

I take it back. If there's one group I don't want to insult, it's pro wrassler's.

Here is a pic on my Specialized Roubaix Expert. I can take a couple of close-ups on the wheels and post them, too. And I'll post additional reviews as I get more time on them. I beat them up pretty good this weekend in three crits and they held up great but I'd like to get more miles on them before claiming success.
Anyone know if the decals are removable from the CF rim?

I like the Williams 38c's and they were priced right @ $999. But the Zipp 404 clinchers are within 20 grams of that set in weight and are considerably more aero (58mm vs. 38mm). They also do feel faster. Perhaps this is 100% psycho, like everything else in this idiot sport.
Both great wheel sets of course. Depends on your budget for wheels.
