A23s built up on Novatec hubs would come in that price bracket. Definitely easier to service than RS80s / DA C24s etc. with the stupid straight pull spokes.
Paolo off BR does a great wheelbuild.
What's stupid about straight pull spokes? RS80 C24s have conventional exposed nipples and even come with a dedicated spoke spanner. The spokes are readily available (though not cheap). No problem to service really.
The quality/weight/performance balance of the RS80s is better than any of the wheelbuilds you'll get for similar money. IMO.
