Good information on this thread, but having read some of the technical info I'm a bit scared to build my first wheels just yet. Going to buy a handbuilt set.
Can you wheel boffins help me with a quick question? I've been searching for half an hour!
Are there any differences between the DP18 Miche set offered by planet x:

And the ones offered by V-Sprint: http://www.v-sprintwheels.com/pages/track-wheels-custom.html
I assume the price difference even with forum discount is due to Planet-X having a better economy of scale? Or am I missing the point? Is Varno worth paying more for, better build spokes etc.
Hope this is the right place, not a complete noob just lost my old login. Have tried a search but then again can't even find my glasses on my face half the time.
