I've been selling the 40 dollar upgrade kit on nearly every bike that doesn't come with em' because the difference is great for how little money the upgrade kit is.
When I build for myself, it's J-bend all day every day. But with how reliable my two sets of bonty carbon wheels are, I don't mind moving to straight pull for the weight savings. If I was dicking around with spoke tension constantly like many a alloy rim, I'd be furious. But not with the carbon hoops.
