Zipp 303 Firecrest vs. Parcours Ronde

Hello, I am deciding between these two sets for a new bike. Parcours are like 400 euros cheaper, They both have similar specs and great reviews. Do you guys think is worth it to get the Zipps? anything in favour of the Parcours?

Thanks for your help

Get the Zipps: wider, blingier, and probably much better resell value should you wish to part with them down the line. You'll drool every time you look at the Zipps on your bike, which is worth the extra €400 in my book.

The Parcours look good too, but they're pretty generic and a bit pricey for that. If saving a bob or two is a priority and you're prepared to wait, these guys are worth checking out too.

Unless they have improved the hubs on the Zipps I would look elsewhere.
