a yawning chasm
How much will I be spending for something that is noticeably lighter and better performing than the Sciroccos. Would Shamal Ultras be worth the extra money?

I can't think of any question to which modern Shamals are the answer. If you want to go faster than cheap-ish metal wheels allow, you need to look at aerodynamics.

I don't think I've ever noticed a difference between different aluminium wheels, your Sciroccos are fine. If you want something different perhaps deeper Chinese carbon ?

There's enough difference to make me give the Khamsin a swerve. Above about £200, there really is a yawning chasm where you're paying ever more for ever less benefit, until you get to the really high performing aero wheels, but the jump from £100 wheels to £200 wheels is worth making if you have the money.
