Wheel upgrade choice for CAAD13

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Wheel upgrade choice for CAAD13

My CAAD13 has Bontrager Affinity TLR wheels. I bought the bike used with only 20 miles on it but the previous owner swapped the stock Cannondale wheels to the Bontrager. They are not bad but very heavy (2150 grams) and the rear hub seems pretty tight compared to my Fulcrum 5's on my Ridley. My riding is mainly on a paved MUP ranging from 15-60 miles on average with not much elevation gain. I would keep the Bontragers for the trainer and also keeping the Ridley for winter rides. I plan on running 30 or 32 tubeless tires

I have 3 wheels on the short list on around the same price point.
Fulcrum Racing Zero Disc tubeless. on sale at Competitive Cyclist for $922
Mercury S5 tubeless disc also on sale at CC for $910
I built a set of Light Bicycle. I'll take any suggestion on changes to the LB's
