poyzer where you based? wheelbuilder prices seem to be pretty high, try aspire velotech if you're in the usa
As for what i think on your build:
I'd say change the front hub to a white industries one (silver), then get silver cx ray spokes (for front and back), with silver archetypes (for front and back).
This way, you get a cheaper wheelset, still looking really nice, just look at the photo's above, and if (more likely when [in time you will see]) you want to make this a geared roadie, all you need to do is change out the rear hub to another white industries one with the same hub body (so spoke length won't change) and bam! you've got a real nice looking, matching wheelset. I have a thing for matching wheels.
If you're worried about the hubs, unless you plan on putting serious mileage and/or you're a pro rider, you won't notice the difference.
