Default Wheel broke yesterday

Luckily I was not going very fast. I was accelerating through a light and snapped 2 spokes on the rear wheel, from torque is my guess. Took it in and they are giving me a free new one but I don't trust them now. I only have 1500 miles on them. They are the specialized proprietary brand, Roval. So I am getting a new set. Any suggestions, plan on spending about $1,000.

I will take a look at those. Are you using them yourself?

I'm riding the Kryrium SL. I absolutely hate it when I would break a spoke so my bike guru in town sold me a pair of these. I have hit pot holes going fast and these things not only didn't break they didn't even go out of thru. They are a great tire for a bigger guy.
