If I were in the market for new wheels (I'd love to be, but hard to justify the $$ at the moment), I'd also check here: https://www.psimet.com/.
Looks like he takes a good look at you, how you plan to use your wheels, and what you expect of them. I like that idea, personally. Then he custom builds based on that info, which seems like a good idea. Not sure what his prices are like, but it would be worth looking into, IMHO. Like you wanted yet ANOTHER option, right, lol!

PSIMET's prices are pretty good. I have an order in with Rob right now. They should be done this week. Pacenti SL23 rims, White Industries T11 hubs, CX Ray spokes (24f/28r), and brass nipples came to just under $700 plus $35 shipping to Ohio.

The c-24s should be great wheels. Post a review once you've put some miles on them.

Yeah - now I am considering wheels I hadn't been looking at before. There's too many to choose from!
Now I am looking at the 9000 c24 for $720 - my only concern is that the wheel doesn't have the wider rims and have a low spoke count - should I even worry at 165 lbs?
Still looking at Boyd Vitesse, ROL Race-SL, and Soul s2.0. Also stumbled on a set of fulcrum racing zeros for $800. Oh yeah the November 38mm full carbon set at $890 is also tempting - but maybe a little much for an everyday wheel.

Yeah - I ended up with the 9000s. I am pretty sure they will be hidden by the time I get home from work and I will have to wait about a week until it's my birthday to actually ride them. We'll see what happens.
