My most durable rims for your most lightweight 650b rims

I have a bunch of Ambrosio Keba "confreriale" 650b rims, with double eyelets and 36 holes, which I bought for touring. They're unobtainium now, and really nice. I've recently turned into a weight weenie thanks to Vitus 979 ownership. So on my 650b bike, I want some lighter wheels. Has anybody got a set of 32h 650b rims that weigh under 450g that they'd trade for the venerable 36h Ambrosio Keba, the best 650b touring rim ever made? Maybe some Pacentis?
