    Shimano Dura-Ace 7900 C24 CL Wheelset is worth a look. CRC seems to be the cheapest on my list of providers at €625 in a 10% off sale. They weigh in at 1386g and get great reviews.

    I have a set of ksyrium sl's and I would highly recommend them. I'm bout 90 kgs and there is little if no noticeable flex when putting down. They are very sturdy wheels. If I had 800e to spend on wheel I would prob buy fulcrum zeros(should haven't a problem getting them for 800 on some of the German online shops). I've heard good reports bout them, climb and roll really well, think they have ceramic bearings but not a 100% on that. Just my 2c worth

    I got a set of fulcrum zeros from bike-discount a couple of months ago for about 700euro.I dont notice too much difference betwen them and my much cheaper pro lite bracciannos,to be honest.They do look nice though
