The Elitewheels is a proven, well loved brand and Edge is a fantastic wheelset by all means if you read reviews. However between SLT and Aero 50, the Aero is simply better in the way it rolls and sound it makes. The SLT hubs are incredibly loud. And I guess Edge also has those loud hubs. Aero's are almost silent comparatively and I love it for that reason. They have also stayed true for the longest time compared to any other wheelset I have had.
Very light, accelerate reasonably well and keep up the speed exceedingly well. Don't think you will unhappy with either. From my experience, in future if I am to choose between ICAN and Elite I think I will go with ICAN.

SLT seems heavier than Edge. According to me : Edge > Aero > SLT. Am I wrong ?
Moreover, Edge is Ratchet. I think the durability is better.
I don't know about after-sale if there is a problem between Elite and Ican.

At that price point, they can build something great. You can email them directly. I suggest you find a friend to order a set as well, they can put 4 wheels in one box, and shipping is virtually the same, so you save 50-80 bucks in shipping.

What's the widest rim they have? I don't see any wide ones on their webpage

I wrote them on AliExpress, and they send this list to me.
So I ordered 32mm wide (actually this rim 32.5 in the widest point), 45mm deep, 26mm internal widrh, with bitex hubs.

didnt realize they were on aliexpress! cool! Can be a good way to get subsidized shipping.
I think i have the 30mm wide 58mm deep rims from memory. Equally capable as road wheels (we've used them as such too).

You save on shipping by having 2 wheelsets in the same order? IIRC yuanan told me they would ship in 2 boxes for 2 pairs so I'd pay double in shipping
