thinking about some better disc wheels for my Mason
I already have 2 sets of hunt alloy wheels which I have no real complaints withWhat so far unidentified deficiencies in the Hunt wheels do you hope to solve by getting something "better"?

Not loads; have had minor issues with the freewheel on one set, plus the valve hole doesn't seem perfectly aligned (I get a wobbly valve and some difficulties keeping it airtight for tubeless).
Plus slight performance improvements would be nice, if I can get some more aeros (I find I smash it up hills but regularly get left behind on flats / higher speed sections)
Edit: I am aware that any gains will be pretty marginal...

So I'm thinking about some better disc wheels for my Mason and wondered about Carbon - any recommendations?
As far as I can see there's a huge gap between Hunt / light bicycle level of quality, and Enve / knight composites type stuff - plus a surprising number of quite heavy but not that cheap wheels out there. Which way would people go?
Or do I just go fancier alloy and go Hed Ardennes / Belgiums?
I want tubeless ready and disc brake; I already have 2 sets of hunt alloy wheels which I have no real complaints with, just not sure if I should look further afield
