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.
JWestland-
Most of the rims on the market are ok depending on intended use and what your standards are.
Open pro is cashing in on the fact that it used to be good.
It's 2016, the rim is very narrow, not very stiff and takes only 100kgf on the drive side which is fuck all and it's pricey for what it is. Saying all that, It's very round and sidewalls are very well machined unlike some other rims.
Still, better options out there.

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.
