Which wheels?

I need to pick up some 650b wheels at short notice. There's not a great deal available and I've narrowed down what there is to the following
- Ritchey vantage II's £430
- Crest rims with pmp hubs £520
- Crest rims with progress hubs £300 (used)
- Notubes Crest Stans's ZTR Wheelset £480 (a bit overpriced I think)
I've managed to google a bit of info about the reliability of the notubes option (come with crappy bearings but are otherwise pretty reliable) but am in the dark on the first three options. If anyone has any experience of them, not necessarily 650b, I'd appreciate some advice.
Many thanks

How quickly do you need them? Most German stores have a good stock of 650b stuff. You'd get something reliable like DT 240s on Crests for your budget, if you can wait a week or so for them to be built and shipped. actionsports.de seem to have the biggest selection of DT, Stans and Pacenti rims.0

Really need to get my hands on them in the next couple of days. Have bought myself a 26" wheeled bike which I've read online will take 27.5 wheels but want to check for myself asap since if its too tight it'll be going back.
I'm thinking the ritchey's should be a safe bet but there's nowt useful about them online. Am hoping someone out there has got some experience with them.0 -
Who says they will take 27.5? manufacturer?0
