Can you actually BUY a set of king hubs through a LBS at SRP for $900? Even Jenson is $625+ tax for just the rear. With paying a shop to do the build, and DB spokes you're well over that $900 figure. I would argue that you're comparing two different price points, and that King/Flow wheelset is more like a $1400-1600 build. And will still have a big dent in it after the first couple of months use.
