I have the DH-3D80 (just the disc variant) and found it fine.
Was this close to the A719 and then went for the DT Swiss TK540, they're built into beautiful wheels and have taken everything so far. Not much pricier if I remember either...

I've also read that the a719 rims aren't that great though they seem like they're designed for exactly what I'd like them for.
A719 is fine, strong rims for moderately loaded touring.
If you're gonna do heavy touring, then Rigida Grizzly.

Looking at this for a tourer I'm building up:
http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/article/atb-wheel-set-28700-c-mavic-a-719shimano-dh-3n80-deore-xt-780/aid:484616
Seems good value to me, especially for a full wheelet. Is there any reason I should be going for a more expensive dynohub?
I've also read that the a719 rims aren't that great though they seem like they're designed for exactly what I'd like them for.
Edit: this deal seems particularly appealing considering I've just bought a rear wheel based around a mavic a319 for £80 (which I could easily return for free)
