I would like to spend around $500 on a nice 16H front/20H rear wheel with bladed spokes. I've been looking around, and I found a few: Campy Zonda, Mavic Ksyrium SL, Spynergy Stealth SS... These are all at the top of my price range, what you guys recommend?

What I am looking for in a wheel:
- Bladed spokes
- 16H/20H count
- Aluminum rim
- $300 - $600

All input/info/recommendations are welcome. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Zach
Have you looked on-line? Check out Ebay for some new wheelsets in the 1500-1600 gm range for under $500.
