I've ordered Milano tubs. They're even cheaper and lighter than Giro / Rally, have removable core and get quite good reviews (at least for their ride quality). Thought people tend to puncture them easily but I guess it's a classic case of YMMV so I'm optimistic.
BTW - I managed to remove the freewheel "peacefully" :)
And about the tape - unfortunately it looks better in the picture than in reality - I wish it had this "orange-ish" tint in real life. To me it resembles a lemon peel, texture is similar too. Nevertheless it looks great, IMHO.
Aaaand a fun fact - judging by the early estimations, Gazelle might be a bit lighter (or very close in weight) than my track Romet. Gaspipe tubing vs. Reynolds 531 innit, I guess :P
