Need 24 Hole Deep Road Rim

I have a 24H powertap pro hub that I'd like to build into a racing wheel. I was thinking Sapim CX-Ray or DT Aerolite spokes. Does anyone have a suggestion on what rim to use? I'd like something relatively deep and aero, but preferably not too heavy. Would be happy to go with carbon.

You can pick up 24 hole Zipp rims of various depths for about US $400.

If you don't want to go with the expense of a Zipp, the IRD Cadence deep V rim is about 465gm and has a profile similar to the Velocity DeepV, but about 100gm lighter.

Yeah, I was thinking about that. Have you ridden them? Are they durable?

No, I haven't actually ridden them. I picked up a used 20H bontrager front wheel of which the rim is a piece of [censored] that I am planning to rebuild and I was looking at the IRD. At 24H, with that quality of spokes and a good build, it would probably be OK if you aren't too big.
