Nah, Hopes are decent wheels; go with them if that's a choice. The straight pull spoked ones might be a bit lighter, plus the spokes might be stronger. Go for 6 bolt disc aswell if you care about weight savings!
Would straight pulled effect the pricing?
I don't have a clue what the prices are for those wheels, just noticed they appeared to do them in J Bend and Straight Pull.
Yeh, J bend a bit easier to get spares for (as in, if you're out in the Alps and a spoke snaps for example).
