I have a 2006 catalog and the stated weight is just over 860g for a 700c cassette hubbed disk. price in £ is £899 which I think is about the same as last year.

The new disc is in production. It is shipping now. I asked Josh this about three weeks ago, and they were in production and shipping then.

The MAJOR difference is a vastly improved hub. Do some searches for joshatzipp's posts. He talks about it. There is also a whitepaper on Zipp's site. Much of the weight savings comes from the new hub, but it is the mechanical changes that make the '06 worth buying more than the weight savings. The new hubs are also a different alloy. Overall, a worthwhile upgrade.

'06 is more $$. Not sure how much.

That being said...weight at the hub does not really count. It is the rotating weight at the outside of the rim that counts more.

What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

Yup, hence my statement that the mechanical changes, not the weight, are what make it a notable upgrade worth choosing over a cheaper '05. Weight for the Zipp has never been an issue. Even a heavy disc like the Ghibli is the right choice for just about every course except for the Mt. Washington Hill Climb...
