Thanks for that, rather tempted by these......
Can anyone explain what rear hub to go for, ie if I want Shimano, there seems to be dura ace 10spd, or Shimano/Sram freehub.
It would likely to be to run with either 105 or Ultegra 10 spd.
1550g isn't bad either is it?
I appreciate that I think the RS80's are the same weight for similar money (?) but for whatever reason I don't really fancy them.
I was thinking of a Fulcrum, possibly a heavier Quattro, or perhaps the 3.Felt F70 05 (Turbo)

I think the normal shimano hub doesn't take the dura-ace cassette from memory. So unless you run a 7900 cassette get the standard shimano one.
The Eastons have a higher spoke count compared to the RS80's which may increase their durability a fraction. For that sort of money though I would save for Ksyrium Elites, I have heard some mixed reviews on Easton wheels in general.
Edit: Or even save some money and get these:
