I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Also you can't tell by just looking at a new rim, you will feel it as you are building, that your nipples bind for no reason.
From the ones I've seen, Archetype does it, Velocity rims are terribly finished too.
Pacentis are always well finished.
I generally chamfer all non eyeleted rims as a part of the wheelbuild.

I didn't have many problems, there were just a few I had to overtighten and back off as they were winding up.
Gently gently does it...
The mavic hate is strong lately but I built with opensport, the finish is so-so but I never had problems with them. The Archetypes finish is definitely better though no annoying seam that sticks out when truing.

Tx. So far no problems.
The rims I got looked very smooth it's the older model, no edges or seams that stick out. Spoke holes looked ok too.
Built them myself so if I die in a fiery inferno it was my fault :P
