If you're considering the H PLUS SON take a look at the DT R460. Ive been very happy with them. They are tubeless compatible and roughly the same section as the Archetype. Primary difference I see between it and the Archetype are that it has a pinned seam, 10 grams lighter, and has a $48.60 MSRP. They built up round and true for me (32h front and rear) with a very minimal click at the machined brake track that went away after a ride or so. I had Compass Steliacoom tires mounted and they mounted and dismounted easily. I have not used them tubeless so no data point there. Stans tubeless tape.
Edit: I wrote all of the above assuming the Archetype was much more expensive than the DT. At $70.00 MSRP and a 10g extra, the Archetypes are very comparable...
