Pro lite bortola a21 VS Campagnolo zonda
First time posting on this so don't know if it's right or wrong...
Anyway, I recently got a specialized tarmac sport and love it. Only thing is the wheels are fairly standard and I am looking to upgrade them. I don't race, but do as many sportives as I can. I weigh 63kg so believe I'll be fairly nice to wheels.
I have narrowed it down to the pro-lite bortola a21 or the campagnolo zonda.
In comparison, I have heard that the zonda's are stiffer, have a deeper section and are stronger?? However, the bortola's are lighter, wider and very shallow.
I was just wondering if anyone had any advice? Also, any personal experience would be great to hear about. Things like serviceability and reliability; how often do they break and if they do, how cheap are they to fix?
Thanks!

We can't have that can we. Much better to risk killing vulnerable road users. Less damage to the cars.

No experience of the pro lites but I own a pair of Zondas. They're stiff and roll smoothly, hub parts can be replaced, at some cost, however (its campag). Mine have been bullet proof, and I'm petty big, running high pressures, the only draw back is the proprietary spoke and rim effectively means the whole wheel life is limited by the life of the rim. Go handbuilt if maintenance and repairability is the most important thing to you.
