    I would +1 on the DB spokes (So DT Comp not Champ).

    They are stronger and lighter, win win (apart from cost).

    Apart from that, one of the most common and proved wheel choices for XC, light and fast!
    Why would I care about 150g of bike weight, I just ate 400g of cookies while reading this?
