I really struggle to see how CK hubs are worth the money they cost next to Record hubs. Without doing the maths I reckon you could build the entire wheel set at a cost less than the R45 hubs by themselves. And when it comes to servicing them you won’t need the proprietary CK tools or a lbs shop that’s invested in them.
Saying that the Neutrons in my experience are a really good solid wheelset, although narrow rim width, so don't exclude them from your thoughts - recently sold mine, but they were still as straight as the day I bought them.
