^ I think he means cxp22's and he want's to upgrade. Also that picture kinda proves his point on the aero rims ;)
The RS80's do look like a good deal. I'd just question a 20h front if you're commuting.
As you're not that heavy and if you're commuting (so lots of stop and start) I'd go for;
...but that's because I'm saving up for a new wheelset which will most likely be those hubs to those rims (of A23's or C2's depending on £s).
Or stretch the budget out a little and get the HED. C2's from www.wheelbuilder.com. C2's with SuperLight's and bling spokes/internal nipples came to £375 when I worked the cost. So you could shave some cost off. My thoughts are based on the fact that I'm sold on the idea of wider rims and want to keep weight down (or believe HED.s aero-marketing over Stans or Velocity's).
But to be honest what ever you get in that price range will be fine if they're built well. It just comes down to what you want and geek-satisfaction.
