imo, not worth it.
during Sea Otter we rode over to their booth and the owner was talking about them and my buddy andrew asked how much they weighed and he claimed that demax's weighed 700g and TAGS were 800g but even stronger...

thats what i was thinking.
lighter is better. but i want something bombbroof. and it has to be under 300.
i'll sacrifice weight before strength.

If you want something bomb proof you shouldn't be considering mags. They WILL egg over time and there is no straightening them after that happens.

Atomlab Pimps laced to your hub of choice since you're not worried about weight. I run these myself and haven't had any issue with them. I was out less than your budget of 300.

Atomlab Pimp Lites are also a good option.

A good wheel builder at your LBS is the way to go. Order from wherever you must but having a good strong set of wheels built is worth it.

Youtube: "Build your own wheels." it and you will find plenty of tutorials showing how to do it step by step. I just built my first wheel last night, rode it at the trails today. I "trued" it in between riding and it blew my mind how simple trueing was. It is a liberating feeling to build wheels.
