I'm not going to argue the "is it worth it for those dollars" thing. I like my carbon wheels much better than the OEM wheels, both for the lighter weight and for the advantages of wider rims.
Was going to suggest OP look at lightbicycle. Glad to hear from someone with the same bike that it worked out.
