FWIW I havee a couple of sets of Vittoria Pistas and I think they are excellent. I've had experience of no brand clinchers on Bordeaux hire bikes which were sketchy and I've ridden with a couple people at Derby who've used various Vittoria corsas both tubular and clincher and ended up abandoning them and swapping out for Pistas.
One thing I have come to realise is the one area where you don't want to skimp is tyres.

Thank you! Yeah the Control Pista was the other I had recommended so looks like quite the investment. Obviously the bike buyers brain then says "well if you're dropping that much on tyres, try and find a 2nd hand wheelset".
