Campag Vento wheels
I fancy changing the wheels on my Cayo to something with a bit more bling but given the time of year Wife has imposed strict financial constraints (it'd be easier to get a couple of billion out of a French bank 
).
I've seen the Campag Vento's and understand that they are only just over £100. My Cayo came with Easton's. Is there much difference between the 2?

I'm not sure about the new Ventos, but the old pre 2007 ones could be speced with Shimano hubs. I have ventos on my winter bike and I might just be unlucky, but I find the rims a bit soft. Mine are full of groves and I have had to emery a couple of nicks in the surface which were snagging on the brake blocks. It is not a problem I have experienced before with winter wheels and I would personally go for Aksiums instead.0

My ventos with Campag. gruppo. were very nice, however I toasted them in just over a year of all-seasons gritty country backroad riding.
The rear rim ended up quite thin.
The rear had about 2-4mm lateral (out of true) on it by the time the rims were looking too dangerous to ride on.
The front wheel was still perfectly true.
Still, it gave me a good excuse to explain to the good lady wife that I needed a bling new set of handbuilts!
Some say that the Vento design is significantly less aero than the next model up, although as Monty has pointed out - you need to be pulling serious short distance TT speeds "with a big motor" before you'll benefit from aerodynamics.0 -

Totally bombproof construction, Looks.

A tad heavy, soft rims, only lasted one season.0 -
I'm confused as to why you would want to swap the Easton Vista SL's I think are your OE (retail >£200) for some £100 wheels?
Surely the eastons are better wheels?0
