Still can't decide on new track tubulars, and I am running out of time.

Criteria:
Fairly Lightweight but not delicate race-day tire
Indoor only, relatively new wood surface in Milton
Mostly for training on the track but fit enough for weekly racing (can't afford 2 wheelsets at this point in time)
Gumwalls would be an added bonus so satisfy aesthetic desires (lugged steel Marinoni with low profile Ambrosio box sections)

I can't find much info on those Challenge Pista 320's, and from the images I can find online (which are primarily low-res product photos) I'm seeing some which have a fine tread, and others which are completely slick. I think I would be leaning towards a fine tread, but can't find any real world reviews. I was ready to just buy some road tires (Vittoria Corsa SC's) until i realized they are dual compound. It looks like their higher end Pista EVO CS tires are race day tires. So here is where I am at now:

Eliminated:
Vittoria Evo Corsa SC
Veloflex Record (not a good experience with these, bad luck maybe!)
Vittoria Pista EVO

Considering:
Challenge Pista 320, or 260 (tho they seem to be discontinued)
Vittoria Pista CS Elite
Dugast Pista (non-latex)

Any suggestions or advice is welcome!
