The weight spoke manufacturers quote is always for a 260 mm one, which is a short size... you will need more like 285-290, so spokes will be heavier. Brass nipples are 1 g each, while the alloy ones are about 0.2-0.3 g.
I didn't know of them either... I've just fitted a pair and they appear to be just as grippy but more robust... although also less supple... I just find the Vittoria too expensive

Thank you for your answer. You are probably right. I will stick with A23, as I am really pleased with them. Both looks and performance...
Novatec X-light (317g) + A23 (900g) + DT Comp (382g) = 1600
Novatec X-light (317g) + A23 (900g) + DT Rev (283g) = 1500
Shimano 105 (523g) + A23 (900g) + DT Comp (382g) = 1805
Shimano 105 (523g) + A23 (900g) + DT Rev (283g) = 1706
Thinking....
Good tip on the tyres, I didn't know of them.
