H3's. Dilemma solved.
Chris
I've just gone thru this long process myself and had similar monetary limits on the process.
HEDs are very good.... and our core multisports store using the BT discount will let you get those for about $1266
Ritchey's are well thought of.I read a lot on SlowTwitch on those.
I ended up with Zipp 404s... found an amazing deal and ended up with new 2008 Zipp 404s... not much more than the HED3s.... so look for deals
PM me with any questions
Just wondering why you went with the 404's over the Hed 3's? Sorry for the hijack...
