Excellent choice, ha. Looking forarwd to hearing your progress. I absolutely love my Burls, for all the reasons you require as well, so I doubt you'll be disappointed.
Forks-wise, I don't mind the Wound Ups, prefer them to the Easton's, but if money were no object I'd get some Enve...and hope to some day.
I'm not a fan of the CXP33, but they are a very strong rim and good for the money. The wider rim of the H+ was more of an incentive for me and, as it happens, both the Archetype and the TB14 are very nicely made and good looking rims.
I do miss the black deeper rimmed wheelset I had, agree with meds in that do suit a Ti frame very well.
As for a Headset, I don't have experience of the integrated, but I feel the Kings are fit and forget, they are a brand for a reason, right? I was pretty lucky to find a cheap and mint Ti over on Retrobike. It's one of the only Headsets I wouldn't think twice about buying secondhand to save some bucks.
How tall are you Hovis? You're welcome to have a spin on mine if it'll help with any decisions.
