I can assure you that the Reynolds are a great setup, especially for the price. I don't think the Easton or SRAM wheels come close in weight and especially price. Your stock wheels are probably high 1800 grams, push it to 1900 with tires and tubes. The EA50 goes for $200 on Wiggle and are a claimed 1785g. Not much of an "upgrade" in my opinion. $550 for the EA70 on Competitive Cyclist and still a 1709 gram setup.

Edit: Pair the Reynolds up with a set of Michelin Pro Race 4s or Continental GP4000s and you've got an excellent setup and successfully shave off a pound!
