Right now the closest match is the hunt 50 UD. I'm a bit leery with going with those because of how their rim shapes did on Hambini's aero wheel test.

Do I have any other options? Ideally would be something like the old Reynolds RAZR wheels, but updated to handle clinchers and wider tire widths.

Does such a unicorn wheelset exist?

From his website "They use feature a toroidal aero profile to cut through the air.
They measure 25mm at the brake track, widening to a maximum of 27mm"

Braking in the dry and damp conditions is good, really wet pretty crap, but then I haven't come across a set of rim brake carbon wheels that are any different. My set weighed in at 1326 with tubeless rim tape fitted.
