Swapping to fixed and I want black wheels...

So I've been riding my Wabi classic for a few weeks now and when I bought it it came with a freewheel hub. It's nice. However I'm itching to switch over to fixed. I'm also wanting to change some things aesthetically on the bike (ie. black wheels) and I've got a few questions. From what I've researched the H Plus Son's are a decently popular brand, well made, not SUPER expensive etc. Fits the bill for me. So the problem I'm running into now is there's a set of H Plus Son's with Grand Compe hubs attached to them. So that brings the price up on them a bit plus I'd still have to add the new cog and lock ring. Are those new Grand Compe hubs worth it and will I even noticed a big enough difference between the already pretty nice wheels the Wabi came with? OR do I just save myself almost $150 and just get the regular H Plus Son wheel set and or considering another wheel set all together?

Thanks for hearing me out. I get analysis paralysis sometimes.
