Sub 1550g, sub $500, 35mm (or deeper) 700c alloy build possible? I know NOTHING

BTW you can save a lot of $ by using Pillar or CN spokes over CX ray.

On a sidenote, what is the equivalent in Pillar spokes to Sapim CX rays? There are several aero options.

For CN it's the MAC 424, for Pillar probably one of the PSR X-Tras

Pillar PSR X-TRA 1420 touted as the equiv of CX-Ray. I'm thinking of going with 1422 instead which is approx 10% heavier (= 10% stiffer?????), for not many grammes more.
