No worries.
I would go brass for sure.
CX Rays are great ... certainly no worse than Race (or any reputable double butted spokes) it's just usually they add a major cost for little/no value if in a high spoke-count wheel. I guess if LB buy CX-Ray/Pillar-Aero spokes in massive bulk then they may be able to offer them quite cheap.
Just my unsolicited internet opinion but 32 cx rays spokes per wheel but aluminium nips? What’s the thinking?
If you want;
Crazy-strong - brass nips and Sapim Race spokes.
Fast - fewer CX rays spokes (and maybe slightly deeper rims)
