Not economical. I got my Pro2 front hub for £20. Bearings/custon washers/spacers would cost more than that

LOL - I did actually make it work but only to prove that it could be done really. It'd be much easier to swap the hub for a 15mm one.

Would you not have to factor in the cost of new spokes and a wheel building jig?

Same spokes usually and you can built a wheel in a fork 🙂

No, I got one made up but I could get it done free. I wouldn't have bothered if it was going to cost.
