Alu with a carbon faring is hard to find under 1600 grams.

I'd be tempted to go for something like the Planet X wheels, they're heavier than you want but they're also pretty much the cheapest you can find new. It's either that or you go whole hog and buy some full carbon wheels.

Some advice sought, if you please...
I'm looking to upgrade/supplement my race wheels (currently Pacenti SL23s on Chris King hubs and Sapim CX-rays) to something a bit more aero - this year I did struggle a bit to keep the pace on the flats and am not the biggest rider so am looking to find all the help I can get.
All of my other wheels are alloy, and I would like to retain the ability to swap the wheels out without having to change brake blocks (particularly in the case of getting flats in races). I also rate the braking surface of alloy more than carbon.
So I'm looking for a pair of alloy/carbon wheels with a reasonably aero rim (around 40-50mm), that ideally don't weigh much more than c.1600g and are in the £600-800 price bracket. Happy to go with tubs. Any ideas?
Shimano c35s are not rated as being particularly aero, and the c50s are pretty heavy - not to mention expensive.
