I use Mavic A719 and an older set of T519 Rims and Phil FW Hubs myself . I thought about Velocity rims both times before deciding on the Mavic, all I can say is my intuition told me to get the Mavics both times. I'm not sure if they even come in silver anymore though. If you don't want a Phil cassette hub, the White Industry one's are pretty good. I'm all about minimal service on any bearings, so I'll pay more for cartridge bearing hubs every time instead of cups and cones. It's not surprising Shimano still uses them, since they have the legacy tooling around, it's more profitable for them that way. Nothing inherently wrong, or right about cups and cones, just a matter of how much one likes cleaning, adjusting and greasing hubs. Get what you really want, wheels are a long term investment, not a one time vacation or a dinner ...lol.
