Made a little boo boo, what would you do?

I decided to go all Italian and ordered a Campag Veloce 2011 groupset in black for my n+2 winter bike build today.

BUT, I forgot all about the Shimano freehub on the existing wheel I plan to use, D'oh!

I've never mixed components before, but I believe a 10 speed Shimano/Sram cassette will work perfectly with the rest of the 10 speed Campag set up I've got coming, is this right?

As I see it my options are:

1. Buy the correct Campag freehub from Halo, £40 plus plus fitting, (having never changed a free hub before).

2. Buy a 105 cassette, £30-£40 and fit it myself.

3. Buy a Sram Red cassette, £136.95!!!! and bling this onto to my CAAD10, then fit the Ultegra one I remove to n+2

4. Buy new Aerorage wheel, £105.59 with a Campag freehub. May be viable depending what my LBS would charge to fit the freehub if I went with option 1.

Any other thoughts welcome, and any tips on changing a freehub would be welcome too. Halo claim I should be able to pull the freehub body off with my bare hands, and the image below seems to back this up, but it just seems a bit odd to me, and being ham fisted I don't want to bust anything. Here's a pic of the Halo Spinmaster freehub for reference,

There's a better pic showing the other side HERE
Thanks in advance

People who have tried it say it works perfectly, including my LBS.

If it doesn't Ambrosia make a ten-speed Campag spaced cassette that fits a Shimano hub -
