Bear in mind that Pacenti TL-28 is prone to cracking just like the rest of the Pacentis of the First generation.

Around the eyelets? I've got a pair of TL-28 here waiting to be built: should I bother?
I bagged them cheap from Planet X over a year ago, so it would be no great loss to bin them.

Dammit, I just ordered them about an hour ago. I might just build them up anyway and attempt to reuse the hubs and spokes with proper rims if these ones start to fail. Edit: I got the CL25, not the TL28.

Okay, ignore that stuff about matching spoke lengths. Can someone eyeball this and tell me if it's stupid?

It'd for a gravel/road wheelset and I'm about 80kg. I'm not too worried about low spoke counts as I've been touring on 18-spoke wheels before and never had any problems - something to do with my riding style perhaps. I have a set of 36h, 600g-rim monsters for heavier duty stuff. I would build them myself but maybe have them checked over by LBS as I've only ever built one wheel before.
Can I do better OTP?
