Might be worth shopping around though as the eBay price is only a couple of quid off the RRP.
The reason why aero wheels are so expensive is that aero = large surface area which means more material which means more weight which means slow wheels. the good wheels are aero with minimum weight (& slowness) penalty
Have a look at the link below:

These wheels are excellent aero,flat bladed spokes make them even faster, with assured braking on the alloy section in all conditions. Clinchers so easy to fix inner tubes and even great for climbing as they are stiff.
They are for sale in the `for sale` section, £500 ono
Im open to offers
Thanks
