^ You're right, it's not really comparable. The OP is an entry level road rim. The A319 is a touring rim.
The more I look at Velocity's rims, the more I struggle to see why you'd choose Mavic's. Admittedly I haven't ridden any Velocity's for any length of time, nor have I built with them, but they carry a good rep.
I'd be looking at something like the Velocity Dyad* (480g) over the A319 (and probably the OP for the city).
The Hson's are a good choice, mainly because of their looks (not a criticism).
