Wasn't there someone on here that had problems with a low-spoke-count wheel built on an SP hub and a deep carbon rim? I mean I'm sure the builders are being conservative, and a 32/36h build will be fine for most uses, but flange spacing does make a difference to lateral strength, especially with a dished front wheel, and if you were going to be doing any rough stuff while loaded it's something to bear in mind. OTOH if you've a climber's build and are sticking to the road, no worries.
