Ksyrium Equipes?

I'm thinking of getting a pair of these as an upgrade to Aksiums. However, I'm not yet convinced how much of an upgrade they would actually be - are they just 'better by association' because they have the Ksyrium name?

People seem to stick with Aksiums or go the full way with the 'proper' Ksyriums higher up in the range.

Does anyone have any experience of the Ksyrium Equipes that could share their opinion?

    I've had both Aksiums and Equipes, The difference between the two is not enough to warrant a change in my opinion, there's no point in changing from Aksiums unless you are spending considerably more or are getting some handbuilts done...

    I like the ksyrium and aksium wheels, cuctomers often come back for a proper wheelset when the hubs break, which seems to be quite frequently.
    Depending at what level you ride I opt for a nice sturdy set of hand builts.May costs a little more but will last much longer.
    How much is a replacement rim going to cost for your mavics when it wears out from braking?
