I'm just about to sit down and lace up some Hope BULB hubs to some nice Stan's Flow rims. I want to use black 2.0~1.8 double butted spokes. My normal choice is DT Comps for this. However, I've got some Sapim spokes that fit the bill. Is it worth using these? Is there any real difference?

I've used Sapim before, quality spokes.

Sapim Race, yeah? (2.0-1.8-2.0)

Both are excellent and you'll notice approximately no difference during building or use.

Not much difference, there's only a couple of ways of making a piece of stainless with a bend at one end and threads at the other.

True-ish but some people still manage to get it wrong. Just not had any first hand experience with Sapim yet.
