Budget replacement for Switch/XM719

After a year, my Superstar Switch Evo/Mavic XM719 is looking pretty battered. Been through a set of bearings, on its second freehub and the rim has a flat spot and pretty big dent in it, nice crack forming as well.
It's going to cost at least £100 to get this wheel repaired, even if I do it myself, so any suggestions for a new one, ideally under £150? Could spec another Superstar wheel for less, but reliability hasn't been fantastic, so any other suggestions would be great. Ideally something a little burlier, possibly mavic 721?

Freehubs are a rarity on the front so the options are almost certainly just 10mm QR, 10mm bolt or 142x12mm.The Northern Monkey wrote:what axle spec do you need?
QR/QR
15mm/QR
20mm/QR
etc etc etc etc.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -
Do you know Superstar offer a crash replacement scheme?
They will supply a new rim, spokes and nipples and rebuild the wheel at reduced cost.0
