Well, that's what I ended up going with. KCNC Razors, for USD49 off eBay delivered I don't think I can go too far wrong.
50% Cheaper than Ice Techs and save about 60g to boot.
Thanks for your help, guys, much appreciated.

Stick with Ice Tech rotors. The Absolute Black is way too expensive, for the same exact performance....use that savings for your wheel upgrade.

I've used the Razors for a few races now and with a bit more experience I'm going to moderate my earlier comments.
Certainly for initial bite they match Ice Tech rotors, but for absolute braking power they aren't close at all. For lap races I think they're great but for courses requiring repeated or extended heavy braking I'd be using my training wheelset with the Ice Tech rotors.
