I need to buy a cassette for a new set of wheels I just purchased. Having not purchased a cassette in a few years, I was shocked at Dura Ace prices. So I did a little research and learned that Sram makes a compatible cassette at less that half the price of DuraAce. As far as I can tell, the only difference (other than name) is a slight weight penalty with the Sram. I do plan to be swapping out wheels on weekends, so interchangebility between Sram and Dura Ace is very important.
My questions are:
All things being equal (wear, chain) will I notice any difference in performance (or noice) when swapping out wheels?
Also, who has the best prices around on Dura Ace 9 Sp....probably a 12-23 or 12-21?

Thanks All!
Why not buy an ultegra cassette? Sram cassettes,being loose cog shouldn't be used on wheeels with aluminum hub bodies.
