Well, you can sell the wheel to me when I'm ready for my around-the-world bike trip in a few years...90 pounds of gear in the panniers on potholed roads in Ecuador calls for uber wheels. 

I can't believe I'm about to spend over $500 on one wheel (of which $300 is the hub!).  Is this really what my life has come to?  Being so heavy that having a rear wheel that will support me will cost more than most framesets?
