The Vittoria's I had looked at were $60 a piece. That must have been different than your's, Knotted.

REI has Randonneur Cross tires, which aren't the same as mine (lower psi).

I'm a big fan of Vittoria Rubino Pros. Can't speak to how they'd be as a racing tire, but I think they make a good training tire. Comfortable but durable. For good prices, check out probikekit.com. It's a UK company, but I've gotten some really good deals there, and I usually get them rather quickly.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

I like my Michelin Pro2 Race tires.
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

Don't race, so can't help with a tire selection there. However, for a good training tire I would recommend Maxxis Detonators - I have found them very durable and reliable and I ride on rough rural roads, so they get a pretty good workout (as do I
)
They are also not very expensive

Racing tires are usually expensive... Adding "racing" to any item usually makes it more expensive (often because it's suppoed to be lighter and more reliable).
My club is sponsored by Schwalbe and we get their Stelvio racing tires for less than what they sell for in stores. I haven't had them for long but so far I like them... Even at regular price, I think they are a little less expensive than the Vittoria Rubino Pro and the Michelin Tires, too.
