I spoke with Zipp a couple days ago and they say that there is no difference in the rim, just the lacing, etc. Looks like I can get a custom set built up with DuraAce hubs for about $400 less than retail on the 404 MAX, so I might be going that route.

Have you considered the Edge 2.45 rims with Dura Ace hubs? Since Edge has a lot more history with full carbon clinchers, and the 2.45s are super stiff, I think I'd lean this route. A set laced 2x with 24f and 28r should be just about bomb proof.
I ride with a few guys on the new 404 cc, but haven't really checked them out too closely. They don't seem to have any issues with them, but I don't know of many issues with any carbon clinchers, Edge, Easton or Reynolds (aside from most Reynolds being a little flexy and their suspect hub quality).
