Mavic Cosmic Carbone

Mavic Cosmic SL versus Shimano RS80 C50

I'm looking to buy a set of carbon clinchers over the winter. I was saving for some Mavic Cosmic Carbon SL, however, I see that Planet X are doing Shimano RS80 C50 sets for £499.

I saw the Shimanos in the flesh yesterday and they look well made but the new graphics in silver are a little questionable IMHO. Does anyone have experience of these wheels? Are the Mavics a better wheel and worth the extra cash?

I would appreciate your thoughts.
