not necessarily... you can get 28/32 hole hand builds for around 1670 - which isn't significantly heavier than say Ksyrium elites and about the same as Equpies ... and they'll be stiff and strong for the Surrey potholes - not to mention the fact that I seem to be able to get most 24h lightweight rear wheels to move around and rub the pads (it's my awesome power you see).
....and I didn't say they were going to be my ONLY pair of wheels :) just until I can afford the carbon clinchers I want rather than the cheapest ones I can get.
edit - you can build: DT 465's rims + 240 hubs + spokes/nipples = 1539g
or DT415 + 340 hubs + spokes/nipples = 1555g
both those are 28/32 wheelsets
