Which is the better wheel set?

I'm about to upgrade my wheels and can't decide between Shimano RS80 C24 or Campagnolo Zonda.
The RS80's are £300 at PlanetX and the Zonda's are £326 at Evans.
Any thoughts?

    Zondas are really good wheels.

    Between the two, for me it would depend what groupset I was using!! :D

    Have the RS80s. Good light wheels, for £300 they are hard to beat. Some heavier/powerful riders report flex when putting down the hammer. Mavic ksyrium Elites are a little more expensive at £399 but are 'bombproof' and stiff.
    Why tidy the house when you can clean your bike?

    I was looking at the Zondas.. A bit cheaper here.

    I ended up going with the Hope Hoops for a similar price.

    Neither... in that price range I would either go for Mavic Ksyrium Elite or for a really nice set of handbuilts... Ambrosio Excellight rims, 28 spokes... a set of light hubs... 1600 grams
