Rear Hubs. Halo spin doctor vs 2007 XT.

So its all in the title - I've gone for the freedom halo rear wheel. It can be bought for £31 on its own, exlcuding spokes and hub. Now I already have a hub, an '07 XT one which is fine, and doesn't neccessarily need replacing.
I can get the halo freedom wheel built for £90 but this comes with the spin doctor hub, and I still need to spend some cash on getting the cassette changed etc...
Or do I get the rim an its own and build it up that way.
All depends on the hub I guess - Any thoughts on the comparison between the 2 hubs?

I started answering this, then the comp crashed and aI forgot about it!
Both good value, the Halo uses cartridge main bearings rather than XT cup and cone. Halo also weighs a fair bit more. Not sure of the quality of the freehub on the Halo: nick will know better than me.0
