My wife actually called me a "douche" for writing a love letter to my bike and posting it on the internet.
I went with 202's for a couple reasons. I have a set with white hubs and spokes on my now retired Madone (soon to be on another build - I am builded a branded bike for my Aloe drink. Think promotional vehicle with pedals) and I really like them. They feel light and fast while being nice and stiff. Plus I have always been a bit of a "Zipp guy". I have 404's and a disc, both of which I really like.
I was thinking about Enve wheels, because there is a lot of Enve on this bike - stem, bars, post and all the tubes in the frame.
The thing that clinched it was that Enve wheels have internal spoke nipples. You can't see them. When I heard that Wheelbuilder would anodize the nipples to match the hubs, I was sold. I really like the sour apple nipples. I even like saying "sour apple nipples". So, Zipp 202 won the day.

btw, how did you pick the 202's?
