Hmm, £20 would indeed get you "some spokes", but seeing as DT swiss double butted spokes now retail at 60p each for silver and 85p for black, you def wouldn't get enough for 2 wheels!!
I must say, i'm not really one for standing up for BLB, although you have to bear in mind workshop labour in a shop will always be more than your mate doing it due to overheads and all that malarky. Average labour price for wheel build in a shop will be £20-£25, so just do the maths!
