Default Difference between Open Pro, Helium and Cosmos

I've got a Mavic Helium rear wheel that has cracked around a
spoke hole. The local Mavic importer does not support the
Helium wheel anymore, so I need to find an alternative rim.
From what I hear, the Open Pro rim is the same as the Helium
rim, but unfortunately, it is hard to find in a 28h version.
The Cosmos replacement rim is readily available with 28
holes. Does anyone know the difference between the Open Pro
and the Cosmos rim ? Weight, etc ?

Same rim with different decals.

With regard to the Helium, which his header asked about, but
not his message, there is one major difference between it
and the other rims asked about, it only comes with 26 spoke
holes versus 28h for both the OP and Cosmos.....

Excellent. The funny thing is that the Open Pro retails for
$ 90, and the Cosmos replacement rim (also black anodized)
retails for $ 59... I think I'll get a Cosmos rim, then.

Seems like Mavic list the Open Pro as being Maxtal, but not
the Cosmos ? Possible weight difference ?
