wheel build choice £400
Okay, £400 ish budget, 170lb rider, wanna build up some wheels, try to keep them below 1600grams pretty much decided it'll be a 24 front 28 rear and thinking DuraAce hubs for value... but rims... spokes???
Anyone got any opinions or think otherwise on the hubs, DuraAce seem to have a good rep for price/weight/life/performance?
This one I feel will be a can of worms, haven't had any built before so I'm interested if people are just gonna start saying 'dont bother...get a set of...'.
Opinions and suggestions welcome.

More background.... I've budgeted that and mates suggested Mavic Ksyrium Elite's or Easton EA90SL's but I thought I'd consider what I could build up after reading up that the Mavics are good but might have a bit of a name premium attached?0
