Cheers, wasn't too bad doing it this way actually.
I started reading this and was getting more confused not less.
Your way really wasn't too bad.
In that link they talk about inside pull and outside pull but don't really explain if or why either is better than the other, any opinions on this?
I take it symetric v asymetric is gonna be a fight starting debate but I can perhaps see why asymetric could be considered better for a track wheel which can flipped around and symetric for a road wheel which will only ever be driven in one direction.

any opinions on this?
It's only really a material consideration for situations where something wants to hit the spokes, usually the RD on road bikes and the front disc caliper especially on big wheels. In those cases, having the inbound spokes pulling and the spokes interlaced causes the last crossing to pull inboard, away from the interference hazard, under load. On wheels where nothing is in any real danger of crashing the spokes, there is no good reason to choose one way over the other.

Maybe, but it's a PITA. Get all the inbound spokes in first, it will feel a bit weird having one set pushing and the other set pulling, but nowhere near as weird as trying to thread the last set of inbound spokes into a wheel which already has 3/4 of the spokes in place.
