I'm graduating from SS to roadie, and have just ordered a Specialized Allez Sprint Disc, and across generally very favourable reviews, the stock wheelset seems to be rather so-so (DT Swiss rims, nondescript hubs). I'd be keen to upgrade my wheelset for the summer to something carbon and with a deeper profile, and the Zipp 303s might be just a little too far of a stretch on my budget.
Does anyone know of more modestly priced alternatives, or have a list of arguments long enough to convince me to break the bank on Zipps?
I've found these few alternatives myself, and would love input (do they suck?/would they be worth the upgrade?):

Anything cheaper worth considering?
