Am thinking about a new rear wheel. Not sure on hub atm

Would like a faster pickup speed than a Hope ProII or Superstar switch (24)
around 300g weight would be nice
Under £100 would also be nice

10mm thru-bolt or 10mm butted axle I'd prefer over 10mm QR too
A currently on 185mm 6 bolt rotors too, so centrelock not so straightforward

I realise Im asking too much in view of Mr Bontragers old adage but atm the closest I've come across would be:
DT 350: with 36 star ratchet, sub 300g but £150+
Shimano XT: 36pickup but mid 300's g, QR and centrelock only
Shimano SLX: 32pickup, nearly 400g plus centrelock adapter (or £40+ 185mm centrelock rotor), to go nutted would need new threaded axle plus nuts

Theres no way to make a Pro II 48point pickup like a ProII Singlespeed/trials hub is therE?
