Thanks for all the great input. I looked low and high online including you guy's links but couldn't find a website listing for my exact wheel need. There would always be something missing, such as everything matches, but then it has a schrader valve instead of a presta etc. - of course one could start calling people, but then I may as well just give the LBS my business. The good thing there is that they are responsible if it shows up and doesn't fit.

I went to the LBS today and the options were to buy a hand built wheel from a place in NV that has an upgraded hub and is built for touring or have them build me a wheel. The NV built wheel was 225 and the in house would have been $95 for the rim, $1.50 a spoke and 120 bucks in labor. So I just went ahead and ordrered the NV wheel.

This bike stuff can get pricey, but ti is a lot cheaper and healthier than commuting by car, that's for sure. I hope this hand built wheel will be an upgrade and last. My old wheel has about 4k miles on it with me and who knows how many with the PO - at least 2000, I guess.

Thanks again - I will post back once the new wheel is here!
