It is quite easy to build a wheelset that outperforms a factory build with a lower spend.

Pacenti SL23 rims come in 18H drilling now as well. The Pacenti SL23 rim is wider than the fulcrum rim this is a good thing. Case closed.
Carbon ti hubs are sub 200g for a pair. If you want a light weight wheelset don't use the archetype rim it is 480g per priec the Pacenti is more like 440g each.

With Tune hubs I have always felt you are sacrifising reliabiity for low weight. That is a trade off I am never willing to make.
