James, don't worry unduly. Peter White works to a tolerance of 1mm radial, which when you look at it in a trueing stand is a chasm, but when a tyre is mounted to the rims becomes less significant. I don't think tyres are made to be perfectly round so your hours spent taking out a slight hop/dip go out the window when the bead is seated. Lateral true and keeping tensions even is more important.
