Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

which is the better wheelset?

I'm kinda "meh" on this one, but I own them both already, just trying to decide which is the better wheelset given the choice of Mavic Aksium's or Easton Vista SL's

I'm thinking they're kinda sorta equal, but I may be clueless too.

Thanks.

Easton's (on paper). They're 6mm deeper and 98g lighter. I don't know about the durability or stiffness though.
