Want two sets:

white Crest with gold Hope Pro 2s (or CKs) and 10-spd XTR cassette.
black Flow with black Hope Pro 2s (or CKs) and 10-spd XT cassette.

Thanks!
 
$419 + $20 SH for Stan's Crest wheelset at Steep and Cheap, with Stan's 3.30 hubs, which are actually pretty good.

27.5 - <a class="postlink" href="http://www.steepandcheap.com/gear-cache/mountain-biking/SNT0019-BK" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.steepandcheap.com/gear-cache ... SNT0019-BK</a>

They also have Arch EX, but no Flow. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.steepandcheap.com/gear-cache/mountain-biking" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.steepandcheap.com/gear-cache/mountain-biking</a>

Main difference in the hubs are that the Hope's are burlier with 4 pawl 24 poe drive, and the Stan's have a 3 pawn 30 poe drive. If the Stan's were offered for 20% less than the same wheelset with Hope hubs, I'd certainly choose the Stan's unless I were a clyde that destroyed hubs.

Not sure about SH from UK, but this should give you a baseline on price comparisons.
