Good news! it seems, there will be other choices to choose from now that DT will be producing centrelock hubs also 
But look at the MSRP 
DT GETS THE NOD TO MAKE CENTER LOCK HUBS
www.mbaction.com/detail.asp?id=917
DT Swiss announced today that it will be manufacturing a line of high-performance hubs that incorporate Shimano's patented, "Center Lock" splined rotor interface. Previously, only Trek's line of Bontrager wheels had Shimano's authorization.
DT's new 240-S hubs are offered in conventional and single-speed versions, and will be compatible with Shimano's XTR and Deore XT disc brakes. Whether the Shimano-compatible hubs will be offered with DT Swiss wheelsets has yet to be announced, but we speculate that the agreement with Shimano was motivated by DT's decision to enter into the prebuilt wheel market. Either way, these guys are the only hubs that rival the likes of Chris King--and they are stinking light--so pay attention.
Here is the nitty gritty:
240-S "Center Lock" hubs
Cross-country
Front HubE36 grams: $150
Rear HubE58 grams: $293
Single-speed (set)
Bolt onE43 grams: $326
Quick ReleaseE85 grams: $363
