Shimano Ultegra Wh-r8170-C60-tl vs Reynolds AR 58/62 DB tubeless Wheelset

[Jaeger]

Hi all,looking for a new wheelset and these two are the options that are readily available.I need to complete the purchase within a week,I'm time limited.
Shimano is a newer model set,robust but steel ball bearings still.. 1650 gr.
Reynolds is a couple of years older model set with cartridge bearings.. 1730 gr.
Both seems very fast,stiff,durable and same price.

What are your thoughts, opinions and advice on these wheelsets?

For situations where aerodynamics are the priority, the new Ultegra R8170 C60 wheelset features an all-carbon, 21mm internal, tubeless compatible rim and a super-fast cup and cone bearing hub that is compatible with both 12 and 11-speed cassettes. My Fortiva Login
