Carbon Clincher Conundrum

Hello everyone,

Looking into getting some carbon clinchers for my Moots Vamoots CR with Ultegra 6800/Da9000 mixed group.

The moots is currently running an Ultegra 6800 wheelset and it is the nicest wheelset i have owned since i got my first road bike in 2009. (My trek has a bontrager set and my Caad10 has mavic aksiums.)

I live in the Chicagoland area so the wheels would mostly see flats and occasionally rolling hills, no steep climbs or descending.

Looking to spend around 1,000 to 1,500 for new wheels.

So far for consideration are:

Competitive cyclist Mercury M5~900ish
Psimet (local wheels similar to boyd) ~1100 but could upgrade to white industries hubs for a bit more
Reynolds? Strike/assault and other models?
Campy bora50 ~ 1700 and would need a shimano freehub
Are there any other wheels in the price range that i am missing? What do you guys feel would be the bust buy???
