Sirocco wheels

Wondering what to do with my Campag sirocco wheels. I have just changed from Campag Centaur to Shimano and I am running 10 speed Mavic Ksyrium on one bike. I was going to put the campag wheels (almost new) on ebay but then wondered if it would be worth swapping the freehub to Shimano thereby having the choice of two half decent wheelsets to ride. I like both sets with a slight preference for the SL's. Any thoughts, both sets are very lightly used.

Ask yourself the question. If I swapped the freehub how would I use the spare set? As both wheelsets are similar why would I swap one for the other? If it is to be there "just in case"? Do you regularly bust spokes, do you regularly pringle your wheels? If not, sell on and use the money to get a couple of decent spare tyres and tubes. Yes the rims will eventually wear out but by then everyone will be using discs and you will probably get another bike anyhow.
