Anyone have experience on the following wheelsets?

Easton Tempest II (or Easton EC90, not sure what the difference is)
XLab v2.0

I am a long time cyclist turned triathlete. After two seasons on my road bike I purchased an Xlab Avenger, and now I am looking for wheels. I built a set of nice clincher rims, (Dura Ace hubs, Mavic Open Pro Rims) but I am looking for the next step. Zipps look great, but cost a mint, and I don't feel the longevity is there. So, anyone want to throw some opinions my way?

Thanks.

If you are in the price market, look for brands like Flashpoint, Cane Creek, and Blackwell Research. I know that flashpoint and Cane Creek use Zipp rims for their wheels. There are other lower priced options out there, but I am drawing a blank right now.

I have a pair or Cane Creek Aros and I love them. They seem to be very durable and a good set of wheels.
